This procurement process falls within the services industry and began on 4th May 2021, with a deadline for submissions set for 31st August 2021. The project is part of a broader Skills & Inclusion Programme, supported by a £1.9 million investment from the Scottish Government, targeting skills enhancement in relation to infrastructure projects throughout the region. This tender presents an excellent opportunity for organisations specialising in economic research services and skills development. Businesses with experience in project management, training, and workforce development will be well-positioned to compete for this contract, which aims to establish comprehensive skills pathways aligned with regional infrastructure projects. As this initiative seeks to foster inclusive economic growth, it opens avenues for collaboration with local councils and government bodies, enhancing prospects for business expansion within the public sector. ## Notice Clackmannanshire Council, on behalf of the Delivery Partners wish to commission a suitably qualified and experienced organisation to progress the work by completing the development of the Skills Pathways Plan process.The Stirling & Clackmannanshire City Region Deal was signed in March 2020. This includes a Skills & Inclusion Programme of PS1.9m which will be funded by the Scottish Government. The Outline Business Case (OBC) for the programme is included in the information pack for the tender.As set out in the OBC, the Programme consists of 2 distinct but interrelated projects: a Flexible Skills Project and an Inclusion Workers & Investment Fund Project. This request for tender relates to the Flexible Skills Project. The Partners have committed in this to the development and delivery of 'Skills Pathways Plans'. These plans, which will be owned and led by individual Deal projects with support from the Flexible Skills Programme, will ensure that skills interventions are developed and delivered which maximise the skills opportunities of:1. infrastructure project delivery,2. the ongoing use of that infrastructure project,3. the wider opportunities the infrastructure project creates for the region, and4. a legacy to support the skills required for the wider inclusive economic growth stimulated by the Deal.Infrastructure projects across the deal vary in size, scope and level of funding and will, therefore, contribute differentially to skills development. The Skills Pathways Plans will ensure, however, that each project has carefully considered the opportunities and included them as a fundamental part of the project, ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Public Contracts Scotland | | Latest notice | https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=MAY414517 | | Notice type | PCS Notice - Quick Quote Award | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Not specified | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 11 May 2021 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 5 Apr 2021 | | Contract period | Not specified | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | £24,288 | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Not specified | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Active | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | CLACKMANNANSHIRE COUNCIL | | Additional buyers | CROWN ESTATE SCOTLAND; CROWN OFFICE AND PROCURATOR FISCAL SERVICE; DUMFRIES & GALLOWAY COUNCIL; EAST AYRSHIRE COUNCIL; EAST LOTHIAN COUNCIL; FIFE COUNCIL; FORESTRY AND LAND SCOTLAND; NORTH LANARKSHIRE COUNCIL; PERTH & KINROSS COUNCIL; REGISTERS OF SCOTLAND; SASA - SCOTTISH GOVERNMENT; SCOTTISH FORESTRY; SCOTTISH GOVERNMENT; SCOTTISH PUBLIC PENSIONS AGENCY; SOCIAL CARE AND SOCIAL WORK IMPROVEMENT SCOTLAND (CARE INSPECTORATE); SOUTH AYRSHIRE COUNCIL; UNIVERSITY OF DUNDEE; UNIVERSITY OF GLASGOW; UNIVERSITY OF STIRLING; WEST LOTHIAN COLLEGE | | Locality | DUNDEE | | Post town | Dundee | | Postcode | DD1 4HN | | Country | Scotland | | ITL 1 | TLM Scotland | | ITL 2 | TLM9 Southern Scotland | | ITL 3 | TLM92 Dumfries and Galloway | | Local authority | Dumfries and Galloway | | Electoral ward | Abbey | | Westminster constituency | Dumfries and Galloway | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 49 | | Supplier names | AMD CONTRACT SERVICES; ANDERSON STRATHERN; ASA RECRUITMENT (QUICK QUOTES; AYRSHIRE TRANSPORT; BOXXE; BRIGHTSOLID; BRISKONA; CASTLEVIEW PLANT; CCG (SCOTLAND; CDW; CEANNAS; CIRCLE IT SOLUTIONS; CLAREMONT OFFICE FURNITURE; COMPUTACENTER; COMRES; CYCLETHERAPY; DELTAPOLL; DJS RESEARCH; EKOS; ERIC BOYD FORESTRY; EVENT-A-LOO; FORD MOTOR; GTR CONTRACTS; HADDEN GROUP; HARVEY NASH; HIGHER GROUND COMMUNITY SERVICES; HOARE LEA; INSIGHT DIRECT (UK; KEN EDGAR (PLAY AREA SPECIALIST; KIOWA; KOMPAN SCOTLAND; LORIEN RESOURCING; LOTHIAN DAF; MAGENTA RESEARCH & EVALUATION; MAM CONTRACTING; MELLEX GROUP; MICHAEL RAMAGE FORESTRY; PERTEMPS RECRUITMENT PARTNERSHIP; PETER OGILVIE; POLYPIPE BUILDING PRODUCTS; PURVIS MARQUEES; SCARAB SWEEPERS; SIGN LANGUAGE INTERACTIONS; SONY EUROPE; SPECIALIST COMPUTER CENTRES; SPIE SCOTSHIELD; TSL CONTRACTORS; VENESKY BROWN; WILLIAM WAUGH & SONS (BUILDERS | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 79 - Business services: law, marketing, consulting, recruitment, printing and security ### Codes - 79311400 - Economic research services ## Release History - 11 May 2021 at 13:54 - Award - PCS Notice - Quick Quote Award - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=MAY414517 ## Notice URLs - http://crownestatescotland.com/ - http://https://forestryandland.gov.scot - http://www.careinspectorate.gov.scot - http://www.clacks.gov.uk/business/corporateprocurementprocess/ - http://www.copfs.gov.uk/ - http://www.dumgal.gov.uk - http://www.dundee.ac.uk - http://www.east-ayrshire.gov.uk - http://www.eastlothian.gov.uk - http://www.fife.gov.uk - http://www.gla.ac.uk/ - http://www.northlanarkshire.gov.uk - http://www.pkc.gov.uk - http://www.ros.gov.uk - http://www.sasa.gov.uk - http://www.scotland.gov.uk - http://www.south-ayrshire.gov.uk/procurement/ - http://www.sppa.gov.uk/ - http://www.stir.ac.uk/finance-office/procurement/ - http://www.west-lothian.ac.uk/ - https://forestry.gov.scot/ ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
