Procurement

SCRA fully complies with public sector procurement obligations. We operate within the highest legal and ethical standards and display the highest degree of integrity and honesty, whilst ensuring value for money is obtained in all procurement exercises undertaken. We also take account of Corporate Social Responsibility and Sustainability Policies.

Procurement procedures

We have a range of procurement procedures dependent on the value and nature of what is being purchased.

Where we are seeking tenders for commissions below £50,000, invitations to tender will be sent to a minimum of three appropriate suppliers through the “Quick Quote” section of Public Contracts Scotland (PCS).

Contracts over £50,000 are advertised on the Public Contracts Scotland portal and may also be advertised in the latest news section of our website.  Interested suppliers must formally apply for these opportunities through the portal, and applicants will be considered in terms of their capacity and capability to supply our requirements. You can also view past contract awards on PCS and apply to receive automatic notifications of any SCRA contract opportunities that may be of interest to you and those of many other Scottish public sector organisations.

SCRA has signed up to the Supplier’s Charter. Further information about this and practical information for suppliers on bidding for public sector contracts can be found using this link.

Our Procurement Strategy is available, as well as our Procurement Annual Report 2023/24. In addition, we also have a Procurement Policy Manual.
