What is Public Contracts Scotland?

‘Public Contracts Scotland’ (PCS) is the one-stop shop for suppliers to access Scottish public sector contract opportunities.

All Scottish public sector buying organisations must use the site to advertise regulated procurements, £50k and over for goods and services or £2m and over for works.

You can find opportunities from across the public sector from Local Authorities, NHS Scotland, the Scottish Government, Agencies and Non Departmental Public Bodies to Higher & Further Education and the Emergency Services.

How can I find opportunities through PCS?

There are 3 main ways you, as a supplier, can make the most of the free features to find opportunities:

Browse the Public Contracts Scotland website for opportunities.
Set up an Alert Profile to be notified by email when relevant opportunities are advertised.
Register for a Supplier Finder Profile – Buyers use Supplier Finder to search for and invite suppliers to quote for low value/low risk procurements (also known as Quick Quotes). Setting up your Supplier Finder profile will allow buyers to find you and invite you to quote.
