## Summary

Renfrewshire Council is currently inviting bids for a contract titled "SVQ Training" under the industry category of General Public Services. This procurement is focused on services within the Renfrewshire area, UKM83, aiming to enhance the skillset of Care at Home Services staff by providing Scottish Vocational Qualification (SVQ) training courses at multiple SCQF levels. The process is at the tender stage, with an open procedure for procurement. Interested parties have until 13 March 2026 to submit their electronic bids. The contract value is estimated at £160,000 and the bid opening will occur on the same day, marking the beginning of the award period.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for training providers specialising in vocational education, particularly those with existing accreditation as an SQA Assessment Centre. There is a demand for face-to-face training within the Renfrewshire Council area, with some potential for online delivery. Suppliers with robust financial stability and sufficient insurance cover, including employers' liability and professional indemnity, are well-suited to compete. Additionally, the contract aims to enhance service delivery through community benefits, facilitating growth chances for smaller care organisations affiliated with the Renfrewshire Health and Social Care Partnership. This is an excellent business growth prospect for firms keen on contributing to local workforce development through comprehensive vocational training programmes.

## Notice

Renfrewshire Health and Social Care Partnership (RHSCP) provides Care at Home Services across the Renfrewshire Council area. Staff working in this area must be registered with the Scottish Social Services Council (SSSC). This Contract seeks to appoint a training provider who will deliver the appropriate Scottish Vocational Qualification (SVQ) training courses to meet registration requirements as and when required by the Council, primarily: - SCQF Level 6 Social Services & Healthcare; - SCQF Level 7 Social Services & Healthcare; - SCQF Level 9 Social Services & Healthcare; - SCQF Level 10 Care Services Leadership & Management. The training provider will have to be able to deliver the training and this MUST BE within the Renfrewshire Council area; there may be scope for some elements to be delivered online but it is anticipated that the primary method for delivery will be face to face. As The Education (Scotland) Act 2025 has established a new qualifications body, Qualifications Scotland which replaces Scottish Qualifications Authority (SQA), any reference to SQA within this notice refers to both organisations until transition is concluded.
