This is a bespoke arrangement/flexible framework which has been developed primarily for Employability Services but can be accessed by all services within the Council. The PSA will be procured using the “light touch” procedure set out in Regulations 74 -76 of the Public Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2015 (“the 2015 Regulations”). This allows the Council to carry out a selection process which adopts the principles of equal treatment, non-discrimination and transparency and complies with procurement best practice without requiring the use of the traditional open or restricted procedure set out in the 2015 Regulations. The PSA has a broad scope of service delivery with the opportunity for many providers to be appointed. There is no limit on the number of providers who can be appointed to any of the lots under the PSA. The PSA remains open for its lifetime which allows for new providers to be added over its term, at regular intervals which will be advised by the Council. Applicants to the PSA will be evaluated in ‘Phases’, based on the closing date for each Phase. Following the closing of each Phase, the PSA will re-open for new applications for the next Phase. ## CPV classification Education and training services Secondary education services Technical and vocational secondary education services Technical secondary education services Vocational secondary education services Higher education services Youth education services E-learning services Vocational training services Source Find a Tender (UK) · Notice ocds-h6vhtk-06abf9-2026-06-03T09:13:22+01:00 [View official notice](https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/ocds-h6vhtk-06abf9-2026-06-03T09:13:22+01:00) Never miss a tender like this again Get AI summaries, deadline alerts and a bid pipeline for tenders matched to your business.
