The appointed external delivery partner will design, develop, co-produce and pilot disability-inclusive emergency preparedness guidance and training materials, then support their initial dissemination. The work includes collaboration with disabled people and Disabled People’s Organisations, and alignment with Scotland’s emergency planning and resilience structures. This is a professional advisory, research, learning and development requirement rather than a supply of physical goods or construction work. The delivery location is Scotland, with the Scottish Government acting as the buying organisation. The service is classified under CPV 73000000, covering research and development and related consultancy services. The procurement reached tender: the Scottish Government invited offers through an open procedure, with electronic submission. The tender deadline set by the buyer is 14 October 2026 at 12:00. Bids are opened at that time and must remain valid for 180 days. The single lot has an estimated value of £49,999 excluding any applicable tax. The contract is scheduled to run from 14 December 2026 to 31 August 2027, with no renewal or additional purchasing option. Variants are not allowed and submissions must be in English. The evaluation will favour suppliers able to demonstrate expertise in disability inclusion, the social model of disability, co-production, stakeholder engagement, adult learning, and emergency preparedness and resilience. This opportunity suits organisations that combine disability-inclusion expertise with practical emergency planning and resilience experience. Strong candidates will understand the social model of disability and be able to work credibly with disabled people and Disabled People’s Organisations. They will need proven co-production skills, including the ability to design accessible guidance and learning materials with stakeholders rather than for them. Experience in stakeholder engagement, adult learning, training development and piloting will be relevant, alongside the capacity to support initial dissemination. The requirement is likely to suit a specialist consultancy, training provider, inclusion organisation, research body or partnership bringing these capabilities together. Suppliers must be able to align their work with Scotland’s emergency planning and resilience structures and deliver collaboratively across the resilience system. ## Notice The Scottish Government seeks to commission an external delivery partner to design, develop, co-produce and pilot disability-inclusive emergency preparedness guidance and training materials for Scotland's resilience system. ### Lot Information Lot 1 The Scottish Government seeks to appoint a suitably qualified external delivery partner to design, develop, co-produce, pilot and support the initial dissemination of disability-inclusive emergency preparedness guidance and training materials for Scotland's resilience system.
