How to find opportunities and do business with Commercial & Procurement Shared Services

The Commercial & Procurement Shared Service (C&PSS) is formed of three council’s procurement departments: Aberdeen City Council, Aberdeenshire Council and The Highland Council.  Aberdeen City Council, Aberdeenshire Council and The Highland Council procure goods, works and services annually amounting to in excess of £1billion -  by procuring separately, collaboratively, or with other public sector bodies / local authorities. Depending on the strategic importance of the tender it will either be undertaken by the Service, or by the Commercial & Procurement Shared Service. Procurements are advertised and awarded via an e-tendering web portal called Public Contracts Scotland.  A monthly contract’s register is produced by each partner council showing all live contracts and is published on the relevant council’s website. 

This Commercial & Procurement Shared Service Document contains details on how we advertise our opportunities, what electronic tendering systems we use and how you can register to use them.
