Welcome

Public procurement reform opens the door for procurement professionals, managers and suppliers to work together to deliver a more successful Scotland. The 3rd Scottish Government National Public Procurement Conference will bring together your colleagues from the public and private sectors across the length and breadth of the country. It will give you a unique opportunity to network with potential suppliers and other organisations which may be either similar to or different from your own organisation, and assist you in understanding the latest developments in public procurement in Scotland.
