Suppliers' Charter

The Suppliers’ Charter is a joint statement between Scottish public sector procurement and businesses to facilitate access to public sector procurement opportunities.

Both public sector procurement and business accept that effective procurement practices are an important factor in ensuring a varied and competitive marketplace and creating opportunities for SMEs as well as ensuring best value/value for money for the public sector.  It is recognised there is a need, where practical, to simplify and standardise processes and to ensure consistency in order to provide a fair and open approach to tendering.
