This year, we hosted a large number of workshops for all public sector buyers on the Single Procurement Document (SPD) module within Public Contracts Scotland (PCS)<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The SPD is a standard questionnaire that allows buyers to identify suitably qualified and experienced bidders. It contains questions on both exclusion and selection criteria. Bidders will use their SPD response to indicate whether their organisations meet the requirements to participate in the procurement exercise.<\/p>\n

The SPD module in PCS is available to all users who need to carry out electronic SPD requests. The module provides buyers and suppliers with an easy-to-use service that enables buyers to electronically create and issue SPD requests based on the SPD (Scotland) template, and to link them to their contract notices. The functionality is built into the existing PCS portal, and does not require users to re-register or log-in separately.<\/p>\n

The workshop will be held online via MS Teams, the teams link can be shared with other attendees within your organisation. The event duration will last 1 hour and 30 minutes.<\/p>\n

Registration is open for these free online workshops\u00a0for all public sector buyers.<\/a>\u00a0In the meantime, the\u00a0Procurement Journey<\/a>\u00a0remains the place to find best practice guidance on the practical application of the SPD.<\/p>\n

The sessions are scheduled until December 2024, and will demonstrate the functionality and answer any questions you may have about the module.<\/p>\n
