Procurement Scotland

Procurement Scotland

Procurement Scotland launched in March 2008 with the task of developing and implementing procurement strategies for national Category A commodities on behalf of all Scottish public bodies. It has been established in response to the ' Review of Public Sector Procurement in Scotland' report (published in 2006), which views national and sectoral Centres of Expertise as the major vehicle for driving collaborative, advanced procurement in the public sector. Please read the Post-Launch Newsletter.

Located within the Scottish Procurement Directorate of the Scottish Government, Procurement Scotland aims to deliver benefits to the people of Scotland through improved value for money for taxpayers, improved goods and services for all our citizens, and economic opportunities for our businesses. This will be achieved through effective collaboration throughout the procurement cycle and optimising compliance to national contracts.
