The Project Delivery Training element of the Framework provides a strategic learning and development service to strengthen project, programme and portfolio management capability across the Scottish Government and wider Scottish public sector. Its purpose is to support the development of project delivery professionals by providing access to accredited training, leadership development, professional qualifications, learning resources and tailored capability-building interventions that help turn policy and business strategy into successful delivery outcomes.

The scope of the framework includes the delivery of open and closed training courses, bespoke learning and development programmes, project leadership development, support for early career entrants and professional accreditation. It also supports knowledge sharing, communities of practice, continuing professional development and the embedding of project delivery standards, principles and best practice across participating public bodies throughout Scotland.

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.

Scottish Government’s Public Procurement Strategy for Scotland: 2023 to 2028

https://www.gov.scot/publications/public-procurement-strategy-scotland-2023-2028/ - highlights the importance of building capability:

“People are key. We must ensure the Procurement profession is developing individuals and teams. As well as attracting, developing and retaining new and existing procurement talent, leadership is essential.”

We continue to invest in building capability and skills for procurement and supply chain professionals to ensure that officials across Scottish Government and the public sector in Scotland have the necessary skills now and, in the future, so that public procurement spend is used in a business friendly, socially responsible and legally compliant manner to deliver real public value whilst balancing cost, quality and sustainability.

During 2026 we are considering placing a training and development framework to provide Scottish Government and other public bodies in Scotland with tailored learning and development, grounded in the Scottish public procurement context, to build capability in the following areas.

Public procurement skills across a broad range of topics covering goods, services and works, including current legislation and policy relevant to Scotland, building commercial acumen, and procurement and supply chain specialisms.

Includes procurement skills specifically related to the Sustainable Procurement Duty and its associated tools and guidance under the Procurement Reform (Scotland) Act 2014 (and any subsequent legislation), with particular regard to improving procurement capability and embedding sustainability into procurement processes.
