Classified under public order and safety services, this tender was originally outlined as a planned procurement in September 2020, progressed to an active tender phase by November 2020, and has undergone various stages with its latest update in July 2025 indicating a closure with an unsuccessful award status. This open procedure attracted interest with a submission deadline of 30th November 2020, indicating the structured start of contract evaluations from 1st December 2020. Although intended for successful contract execution, the procurement was eventually discontinued. This tender represented a potential growth avenue for businesses specialising in digital learning solutions and IT services, particularly those accredited with ISO certifications and robust data handling practices, as required by the Scottish Prison Service. The process emphasised fair work practices and compliance with regulatory frameworks, offering opportunities for companies that meet the set insurance and operational requirements. Despite its cancellation, firms engaging in this sector might still explore future tenders from the Scottish Prison Service, given the Organisation's commitment to continual staff development and service improvement within the public safety domain. ## Notice SPS requires an online Learning Platform for staff across the SPS estate.
