The requirement covered registering apprentices, delivering the training and certifying completion, including the required Scottish Vocational Qualification (SVQ) and Core Skills, with enhancement where appropriate. This is vocational training and apprenticeship provision, rather than a general business administration service. The work is for the Council; Perth is its stated location. The requirement was sized around a maximum of 15 participating apprentices, so providers needed to support a cohort rather than a single learner. The procurement has been awarded to Quest (Scotland) Ltd. The award value is £17,250, calculated on the core SVQ course plus two Core Skills for a maximum of 15 participants. Two bids were recorded. The contract is listed as active and signed on 10 August 2026. The available process information does not give an award date, a contract delivery period, a procurement method or evaluation criteria, so these cannot be described. The award confirms that the Council selected a supplier for this training requirement; it does not establish the duration of the engagement or when a comparable requirement might next be considered. For providers of apprenticeship and vocational training, this award is evidence of a defined Council requirement for end-to-end delivery of a Business and Administration Modern Apprenticeship: apprentice registration, teaching and qualification certification. A credible competitor would need to operate as an approved Modern Apprentice centre and be able to deliver the complete qualification, including its SVQ and Core Skills, with suitable enhancement provision where required. The cohort size indicates a need to accommodate up to 15 learners. Providers able to organise the full learner journey and deliver the qualification components together are more directly aligned with this buyer’s requirement than suppliers offering isolated training modules. ## Notice Perth & Kinross Council required an approved Modern Apprentice centre to register, deliver and certificate the full Business & Administration Modern Apprentice qualification. This will include the required SVQ, Core Skills and enhancement (if appropriate). ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Public Contracts Scotland | | Latest notice | https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=OCT566283 | | Notice type | PCS Notice - Quick Quote Award | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Not specified | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 8 Oct 2026 | | Submission deadline | 10 Nov 2027 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | Not specified | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | £17,250 | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Not specified | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Active | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | Perth & Kinross Council | | Additional buyers | Aberdeenshire Council; Clackmannanshire Council; Fife Council; Moray Council; NHS Fife; NHS Lanarkshire; North Lanarkshire Council; Registers of Scotland; Revenue Scotland; Scottish Borders Council; Scottish Enterprise; Scottish Government; The Common Services Agency (more commonly known as Public Services Delivery Scotland) (PSD Scotland); The James Hutton Institute | | Locality | PERTH | | Postcode area | Perth | | Postcode | PH1 5PH | | Country | Scotland | | ITL 1 | TLM Scotland | | ITL 2 | TLM0 Eastern Scotland | | ITL 3 | TLM02 Perth and Kinross, and Stirling | | Local authority | Perth and Kinross | | Electoral ward | Perth City Centre | | Westminster constituency | Perth and Kinross-shire | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 23 | | Supplier names | Quest (Scotland) Ltd; Laboratory Specialist Services Ltd; Gerald Eve LLP; G3 Consulting Engineers Limited; BMI Ross Hall Hospital; Kings Park Hospital; Elanic Ltd; Nuffield Health; Spire Healthcare; Venesky Brown Ltd; SKODA UK; AECOM; Perth Radio Taxis Limited; Quo Imus Limited; Jeremy Benn Associates Limited; BB7 Consulting Limited; Local Transport Projects Ltd; J Thomson Colour Printers Ltd; Algo (Blairgowrie) Ltd; PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP; Conor Price Engineering Limited; Central Taxis (North East) Limited; EKOS | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 80 - Education and training services ### Codes - 80500000 - Training services - 80530000 - Vocational training services ## Release History - 8 Oct 2026 at 15:13 - Award - PCS Notice - Quick Quote Award - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=OCT566283 ## Notice URLs - http://https://revenue.scot/ - http://https://www.northlanarkshire.gov.uk - http://publicservicesdelivery.scot/about/procurement/ - http://www.aberdeenshire.gov.uk - http://www.clacks.gov.uk/business/corporateprocurementprocess/ - http://www.fife.gov.uk - http://www.hutton.ac.uk - http://www.moray.gov.uk - http://www.nhsfife.org - http://www.nhslanarkshire.org.uk - http://www.pkc.gov.uk/article/15478/Tenders-and-contracts - http://www.ros.gov.uk - http://www.scotborders.gov.uk - http://www.scotland.gov.uk - http://www.scottish-enterprise.com/ ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
