## Summary

Scottish Enterprise is managing the procurement process for the "Workplace Innovation Leadership Development Programme," within the Economic Affairs category. This framework is focused on leadership development spanning across Scotland. The open procurement procedure, identified as a significant public service with a starting date anticipated for 6 April 2026, includes multiple awards divided into four lots focusing on different aspects of leadership, like Transformational Leadership and Innovating Leadership with AI and data. The process, initiated in late 2025, progressed through its tender stage and has now reached the award phase on 28 May 2026, with contracts signed on 18 May 2026. Despite the cancellation of some lots, the contracts for Transformational Leadership and Innovating Leadership have been successfully awarded to Connect Three Solutions and Elevator, respectively.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses focused on leadership development and innovation consulting, especially those with expertise in transformational technologies like AI and data. The framework offers broad scope for SMEs to grow by becoming suppliers to a major public sector entity like Scottish Enterprise, known for fostering business growth across Scotland. Companies specialising in strategic innovation, leadership training, and technology integration are ideally suited to compete, leveraging hybrid delivery models to maximise their engagement and impact. Such participation can establish long-term relationships with Scottish Enterprise and influence public service leadership innovations.
