From Wednesday 9 August, all of our news and updates will be published here. Never miss out again! You\u00a0can\u00a0sign up to receive alerts (on the right hand side)\u00a0to let\u00a0you know when a new story or update has been added.<\/p>\n

The move to the blog site is all part of the Scottish Government’s digital transformation programme<\/a>. Eventually all the procurement content on the current website will be moved to the new Scottish Government beta site<\/a> where this blog sits.<\/p>\n

Until the change over happens all procurement policy and information will\u00a0stay on our\u00a0website<\/a>. News and updates will be published here.<\/p>\n
