Scotland Excel undertakes a range of initiatives to encourage the involvement of suppliers of all sizes in collaborative procurement. As participants in the Scottish Government's Suppliers Charter, we offer open and fair access to contract opportunities for companies of all sizes.
We recognise that the procedures surrounding public sector tendering can be onerous for suppliers and are committed to supporting them by providing clarity in our tender documents and processes. We also regularly organise supplier forums to encourage participation in the tender process and provide guidance on completing tender documents.
Developing strategic and productive partnerships with suppliers is an essential component of successful contracts. Supplier management is an important part of our contract placement process, and we work closely with local authorities and contractors to improve contract performance and strengthen relationships.
