Budgeting, accounting for and managing public money, while delivering excellent services and adhering to the principles of best value for money. The Scottish Government is looking to strengthen its available learning provision, aiming to provide it in a way that will ensure staff can support the business aims and objectives and key performance indicators that underpin the National Outcomes for Scotland. Although significant progress has been made, the organisation needs to respond quickly to changing demands and expectations, realising that there is always room for improvement, and is conscious of the need to embrace new and innovative ways of working towards the further development of general finance understanding and finance profession learning. To achieve this we aim to ensure that staff have the right Finance skills as part of a wider aspiration of improving commercial capability. As such, we are looking to put in place a contract that will provide Staff with an opportunity to access tailored and contextualised Finance and Accountancy Profession learning. Previously, learning provision was mostly delivered through classroom based learning. However, increasingly, we are using more eLearning material and the new contract will need to contain elements of existing material that can be used or an ability to develop and create the right kind of required learning resources. The ability to provide finance related face to face or virtual learning may still be necessary, along with the ability to provide accredited Continual Professional Development (CPD) activity for Accountants who are affiliated to a broad cross section of Accountancy bodies. That CPD may involve, but is not limited to, topics that specifically relates to technical accounting, changes/updates to IFRS, changes to the FreM etc. all in the context of Public Sector Finances. To this end the Scottish Government will be implementing a contract to provide the Scottish Government with tailored and contextualised learning. The contract will be an integral part of development opportunities that will build Finance capability across the wide range of knowledge levels required in our organisation. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Public Contracts Scotland | | Latest notice | https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=JUL509081 | | Notice type | PCS Notice - Website Prior Information Notice | | 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 | Planning | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 3 Jul 2024 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | 9 Sep 2024 | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | Not specified | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £100,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Planned | | Lots status | Planned | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | SCOTTISH GOVERNMENT | | Locality | EDINBURGH | | Post town | Edinburgh | | Postcode | EH6 6QQ | | Country | Scotland | | ITL 1 | TLM Scotland | | ITL 2 | TLM1 East Central Scotland | | ITL 3 | TLM13 City of Edinburgh | | Local authority | City of Edinburgh | | Electoral ward | Leith | | Westminster constituency | Edinburgh North and Leith | | Delivery location | TLM Scotland | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 79 - Business services: law, marketing, consulting, recruitment, printing and security - 80 - Education and training services ### Codes - 79211000 - Accounting services - 80500000 - Training services - 80510000 - Specialist training services - 80531200 - Technical training services ## Release History - 3 Jul 2024 at 00:00 - Planning - PCS Notice - Website Prior Information Notice - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=JUL509081 ## Documents - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/NoticeDownload/DownloadDocument.aspx?id=JUL509081&idx=3 4th July 2024 - Questionnaire embedded within the RFI document - Uploaded for ease of access. - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/NoticeDownload/DownloadDocument.aspx?id=JUL509081&idx=1 3rd July 2024 - Request for Information - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/NoticeDownload/DownloadDocument.aspx?id=JUL509081&idx=2 3rd July 2024 - Request for Information - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=JUL509081 Finance Training Contract - Good financial management is about using scarce public resources effectively and the Scottish Government has a responsibility for the propriety and regularity of the finances under its control.
