## Summary

The Scottish Police Authority has recently completed the procurement process for "Finance Professional Development Training." This contract, with a value of £105,000, was awarded to the City of Glasgow College and intends to provide comprehensive technical accountant training and Continuing Professional Development (CPD) for Finance Staff to meet CIPFA requirements. Located in Glasgow, the training will cover subjects including tax, payroll, business partner training, and CPD for CIPFA, with most sessions delivered virtually, though some may require face-to-face meetings. The procurement method was an open procedure, ensuring transparency and competitiveness, with the open tender stage concluding on 12th August 2024 and the contract signed on 15th October 2024. The process involved submissions and electronic bidding methods to streamline participation from different vendors.

This tender provides significant opportunities for businesses specialising in financial training and professional development, particularly those capable of delivering a varied and adaptable training programme in the public order and safety sector. Suitable providers include those with experience in delivering virtual and face-to-face training sessions and those having trainers with relevant registrations and memberships. This represents a lucrative opportunity not only for large institutions like the City of Glasgow College, but also for specialised training providers looking to collaborate with public sector bodies such as the Scottish Police Authority. Businesses that can demonstrate flexibility and a comprehensive range of training services, while adhering to quality and statutory standards, stand to benefit tremendously from such public procurement processes.
