Coverage: 0 active published awards; 0 bid reports (which may be per lot). Supplier values exclude multi-supplier awards, frameworks and DPS, and use GBP only. They are published award values, not payments.

Unpublished data stays unknown. Awarded suppliers are winners, not all bidders.

What is being bought
We are seeking to commission at least one flexible, modular preparation programme to support the three regions of Scotland so that the provision reflects the opportunities and principles set out in the NES Community Education and Career Pathway. The intention is to maximise access for practitioners across all community settings and to ensure that the programme is delivered predominantly at a distance or in a hybrid format, enabling participation regardless of geographical location, including remote and rural areas. Programmes should be designed to accommodate the workforce, with part‑time, work‑based study patterns that integrate learning with practice.
