## Summary

The City of Glasgow College, located at 190 Cathedral Street, Glasgow, UK, is in the planning stage of a public procurement process, seeking to establish a Framework Agreement for STCW-compliant Tanker Training Services. This service falls within the Education category and aims to enhance operational resilience and business continuity through Basic and Advanced Tanker Cargo Operations training. Interested parties should be aware of key upcoming dates, including the future notice date of 16 March 2026. The procurement process initiates as a tender, with a planned communication method and delivery locations specified around Glasgow, particularly at 21 Thistle Street.

This tender presents an excellent opportunity for businesses, especially those approved by the Maritime and Coastguard Agency (MCA), to deliver specialised training services. The training is projected to support not only HNC/HND Nautical Science and Marine Engineering cadets at City of Glasgow College, but also other maritime learners, providing scope for ad hoc service delivery and potential collaboration with educational institutions. Companies with expertise in tanker cargo operations training, particularly in oil, chemical, and liquefied gas, are well-suited to participate. The ad hoc demand model ensures flexible engagement, although no minimum business volume is guaranteed, allowing businesses to leverage their capacity alongside fulfilling certification and training compliance with STCW standards.
