PURCH3060 Provision of a Framework for the Provision of Strategic Leaders Programme (SLP) for the period of Three Years with the Option to Extend for a Further Period of Twelve Months

The University is seeking to appoint an experienced leadership development partner to co-design, develop and deliver a renewed Strategic Leaders Programme (SLP) starting in early 2027.

Please refer to the ‘PURCH3060 Invitation to Tender Goods or Services’ for further details and specification.

This procurement process is being conducted using the Competitive Procedure with Negotiation (CPN) in accordance with the requirements of Regulation 30 of the PC(S)R 2015. Although this procurement is being conducted under the Competitive Procedure with Negotiation (CPN), it is structured differently from a typical CPN process. This approach has been adopted to enhance the efficiency of evaluating supplier responses across both stages (SPD and ITT).

Once the deadline has passed submissions can neither be created nor submitted. It is not advisable for Suppliers to wait until the last

moment before creating and dispatching a response in case of any last minute problems. Please note large files should be uploaded as early

as possible to ensure transfer before deadline. If a Supplier is having problems uploading to the PCS site, then the University must be

informed well in advance and depending upon the merit of the case, the University may arrange for the tender to remain open on the PCS

system for a short period after the deadline time stated. System problems do not fall under the University’s remit and should be referred to

PCS.

Postbox Security: Postbox submissions cannot be accessed by anyone, including Millstream, (the provider of the Public Contracts Scotland

system) until the deadline.
