Glasgow tenders
Public sector tenders in Glasgow
Procurement in Glasgow runs on Scottish rules and a Scottish portal, which matters if you have only bid in England before. Notices are published through Public Contracts Scotland, sustainable procurement duties apply, and community benefit requirements are written into a large share of contracts above a certain value. Glasgow itself is a major buyer, and around it sit the surrounding council areas, a large health board and a group of universities and colleges. The list below draws on our Scotland pool with Glasgow notices brought forward.
