Public procurement - project delivery training framework: buyer's guide

About this framework

The Framework Agreement

The Scottish Government is continuing to strengthen project delivery understanding and capacity. 

This framework agreement provides accredited/certified programme and project delivery learning. The framework is an integral part of development interventions to build project delivery capability within that wider context. The framework is aligned to the Scottish Government’s programme and project management principles ensuring that the learning opportunities best support the learning outcomes of the staff attending.

The current iteration of the framework seeks to go beyond the classroom based sessions. It engages the supplier to provide ongoing support and development to the learner, helping embed and contextualise their new skills as part of the standard price. Thus ensuring knowledge into practice and greater value for money for the organisations covered by the framework.
