## Summary

Inverness College UHI, also known as UHI Inverness, has completed the procurement process for setting up a Health and Safety Framework for the Provision of Associate Trainers. This contract award notice pertains to a framework agreement involving up to four suppliers, aimed at delivering high-quality health and safety training programmes at the UHI Inverness Campus in the UK. The procurement followed an open procedure, starting with a tender posted on 25 July 2024, and the contract was signed with selected suppliers on 18 September 2024. The primary category for this tender is services within the education sector, specifically focusing on health and safety (CPV codes 80550000 and 80330000).
