Find more opportunities on Public Contracts Scotland with Supplier Finder

Suppliers, did you know you can promote your goods and services to Public Sector Buyers through Public Contracts Scotland (PCS)?

PCS is primarily an advertising portal through which all public contracts in Scotland must be advertised,  but it has additional features which you can use, to promote your goods and services to Buyers.

One of these features is the ‘Supplier Finder’ – a free-to-use feature suppliers can use to promote yourself to buyers. Setting up your Supplier Finder profile only takes a few minutes!

How does it work?

Once you create your Supplier Finder profile, it will make it easier for buyers to search for your goods and services. When a Buyer is looking for suppliers for a low value / low risk quote, they will use the supplier finder directory to search for suppliers. If you provide the goods or services they are searching for, they may select you for a “quick quote”.

How to Set  up your Supplier Finder profile

View the step-by-step video below on how to set up your Supplier Finder profile and visit the PCS website to register as a supplier and get started.

The Supplier Development Programme (SDP) regularly run free webinars and training events for suppliers. You can register for their next session on ‘Using Public Contracts Scotland (PCS) – How to Find and Bid for Opportunities’ which takes place on Thursday 31 March (10.30am – 12pm).
