Public Contracts Scotland
www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk
The public sector spends around £8 billion per year on goods, works and services which is a significant market for Scottish suppliers. Until now, there has been no single mechanism giving suppliers access to contract opportunities across the entire Scottish Public Sector.
The first ever national contracts advertising portal, Public Contracts Scotland, www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk was officially launched at the annual Scottish Government National Public Procurement Conference in Glasgow at the end of October by, John Swinney, Cabinet Secretary for Finance and Sustainable Growth.
In the current economic climate it is vital that public spending supports the economy and the availability of the portal at this particular point in the economic cycle is of significant benefit to individual businesses around the country. The project signals a major step change in the way that the public and private sectors will do business in future – in particular by reducing red tape and removing barriers that can prevent them working together.
Over 23,000 suppliers have already registered to this free service.
