Welcome

This conference will provide suppliers with an insight into the developments of the Scottish Public Sector Procurement Reform Programme and will also outline other current and future business opportunities that exist within Scotland, such as the 2014 Commonwealth Games.

The public procurement market in Scotland is significant – estimated at around £8 billion a year.

This one-day supplier conference will provide delegates with an understanding of the
latest developments within the Scottish procurement marketplace, including
potential Glasgow 2014 Commonwealth Games business opportunities.

The SCOTTISH Public SECTOR Procurement Reform Programme was initiated in response to a review of public procurement in Scotland carried out by John F McClelland CBE. The Programme is a far-reaching and ambitious undertaking that aims to improve procurement across the Scottish public sector. The Programme's vision is the implementation of structures, capability and processes to provide continuous improvement in procurement across the Scottish public sector in order to deliver value for money improvements and support increased efficiency.

The profile of public procurement in Scotland has never been higher, and the opportunities for suppliers of all sizes have never been greater
