### Lot Information

Lot 1

Fife College's expert and experienced team is dedicated to transforming the lives of our 6,000 full-time and 14,000 part-time students through education and training. We offer a wide range of inspirational learning experiences from essential skills to graduate degree programmes. With campuses located in Dunfermline, Glenrothes, Kirkcaldy and Levenmouth, we operate within the heart of Fife's communities. Fife College has an annual turnover of 57 million GBP, of which 70% is funding from the Scottish Funding Council (SFC). The College also currently has various other income sources through commercial contracts with employers, local authorities and other government agencies. Fife College provides access to a number of high-quality training programmes, including a growing segment that is dedicated to IT and Digital Training. Our Digital Training provision is designed to reflect the shifting trends within IT, with our programme continually evolving to include the most recent software additions such as Power BI and Azure. Whilst as many courses as possible are resourced using Fife College staff, it is often necessary to outsource the delivery of training to external providers to supplement capacity and to deliver some specialist courses. With the aim of extending our training provision to keep up with technological trends, the development and delivery of a high-quality digital and software-based syllabus is required. The following training areas are required: Data Analytics/Data Flow including Power BI at all levels Microsoft training for technical roles, including Azure, Power Platform Networking Coding Software Testing Business Process Automation Robotic Process Automation Enterprise Resource Planning Artificial Intelligence Digital Twin Technology Visual Media including Adobe Supply chain management software (SCMS) Augmented, Mixed & Virtual Reality 3d Printing/Additive Manufacturing NB Some subject areas in this lot do not currently have courses designed and fully developed. We require Contractors for this lot to have the ability to consult with clients to understand their needs and to both design and deliver courses to suit the requirements of our clients. Although desirable, we would not expect suppliers to be able to deliver all of the courses listed. The publication of this PIN will be used to inform the market of the Authority's intention to create a framework for the procurement of Digital Training Services. It is hoped that through early engagement, all prospective suppliers are made aware of the forthcoming opportunity at Fife College from the earliest stages. Engaging with you (and others in the marketplace) will ensure you have an opportunity to help the Authority better understand the market's capacity and to shape any future procurement exercise for the benefit of Fife College. As part of our pre-market engagement, Fife College wishes to invite any prospective supplier to a MS Teams meeting on the 15th June 2023. Formal invitation to the meeting will be given based on any interest expressed. This exercise is being carried out in advance of any formal procurement exercise. It is not a pre-qualification or tendering exercise. At this point in time no date for the formal procurement exercise is known.
