## Summary

Scottish Borders Council has concluded a procurement process to award the contract for the provision of plant and associated training services. The procurement, focused on specialist training services within the services industry category, will be carried out by NST Napier Safety and Training at a bespoke facility in Galashiels (TD1) and throughout the Scottish Borders area. The procurement process was in the award stage as of 3rd June 2025. This contract, estimated at £50,000, was conducted through a tender with Scottish Borders Council acting as the buying authority.

This award presents an excellent opportunity for companies specialising in industrial and technical training services to expand their portfolio by offering such services to public sector staff. Businesses adept in delivering tailored plant training programs using professional instructors are particularly well-positioned to benefit. Companies similar to NST Napier Safety and Training, which already possess the required expertise and facilities capable of accommodating the training needs of local authority staff, can gain a competitive advantage in the market by engaging in similar public tenders.

## Notice

The requirement is for the delivery of plant and associated training for SBC staff primarily at the bespoke training facility in Galashiels (TD1), and throughout the Scottish Borders Local Authority area by suitably qualified instructors/examiners.
