The system is intended to let these users access, book and manage training through a user-friendly, mobile-friendly service. This is a software and training-management services requirement, including booking and administration functionality. Delivery is for Fife Council in Fife, Scotland. The council is the buying organisation. This procurement is at the planning stage: Fife Council has stated its intention to procure, but has not issued an invitation to tender. The council expects to publish a further notice on 1 April 2027; this is an indicative future notice date, not a bid deadline. The contract duration is currently unknown. The planning information asks for indicative annual pricing, rather than a total contract price. The requirement is presented as one planned lot. No procurement procedure, bid evaluation basis or eligibility conditions are set out at this stage. The requirement is likely to suit software suppliers able to design, configure or supply accessible, mobile-friendly digital services for training administration and booking. Relevant experience could include user-centred platform design, online training catalogues, booking workflows and tools that allow users to manage their own training activity. Suppliers should be prepared to show how a solution can serve foster carers, kinship carers, adoptive parents and supported lodgings carers, and replace a manual process with a straightforward digital service. The council is seeking indicative annual pricing, so suppliers considering the future procurement can begin developing a clear recurring-cost model. The stated scope does not set out particular accreditations or capacity thresholds. ## Notice Replace the current manual training booking and administration process with a user-friendly, mobile friendly digital platform that lets foster carers, kinship carers, adoptive parents and supported lodgings carers access, book and manage training. ### Lot Information Lot 1 Replace the current manual training booking and administration process with a user-friendly, mobile friendly digital platform that lets foster carers, kinship carers, adoptive parents and supported lodgings carers access, book and manage training. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Public Contracts Scotland | | Latest notice | https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=OCT566196 | | Notice type | PCS Notice - Website Prior Information Notice | | 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 | Planning | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 7 Oct 2026 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | 1 Apr 2027 | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | Not specified | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Planned | | Lots status | Planned | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | Fife Council | | Locality | GLENROTHES | | Postcode area | Kirkcaldy | | Postcode | KY7 5LT | | Country | Scotland | | ITL 1 | TLM Scotland | | ITL 2 | TLM0 Eastern Scotland | | ITL 3 | TLM01 Clackmannanshire and Fife | | Local authority | Fife | | Electoral ward | Glenrothes Central and Thornton | | Westminster constituency | Glenrothes and Mid Fife | | Delivery location | TLM72 Clackmannanshire and Fife | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 48 - Software package and information systems - 72 - IT services: consulting, software development, Internet and support ### Codes - 48332000 - Scheduling software package - 48931000 - Training software package - 72212332 - Scheduling software development services - 72212931 - Training software development services ## Release History - 7 Oct 2026 at 01:00 - Planning - PCS Notice - Website Prior Information Notice - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=OCT566196 ## Documents - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/NoticeDownload/DownloadDocument.aspx?id=OCT566196&idx=1 7th October 2026 - PIN Notice Document - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=OCT566196 New Booking and Training Management for Carers - Replace the current manual training booking and administration process with a user-friendly, mobile friendly digital platform that lets foster carers, kinship carers, adoptive parents and supported lodgings carers access, book and manage training. ## Notice URLs - http:// - http://www.fife.gov.uk - https://api.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/v1/Notice?id=ocds-r6ebe6-0000845118 - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/Search/Search_Switch.aspx?ID=845118 ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
