Scottish Enterprise is seeking to establish a Framework Agreement for SE Academy – Finance and Investment. We are looking to appoint between 3 and 5 suppliers to provide the Framework services. It is envisaged that the framework agreement will commence in January 2014 with a duration of 3 years to January 2017 with the option to extend for 12 months to January 2018.

The Scottish Enterprise Academy provides learning opportunities and approaches for our staff. Our customer facing staff deal with Businesses and Organisations locally, nationally and globally and need to have the necessary skills and knowledge to support and challenge these key customer groups.

We are seeking a number of training suppliers who will work with us to deliver relevant and impactful learning to this important group of staff. The target group for the training will already have a good understanding of business issues and have relevant work experience so content and delivery should take account of this.
