As the third largest local authority in Scotland, with a third party works, goods and services spend of around £477 million each year, Fife Council is responsible for delivering all local government services in the Kingdom. The Council delivers a range of services that make a real difference to the people of Fife and help to achieve our vision of a confident, ambitious and caring Fife that is a great place to live, work, visit and invest.

The Council must realise opportunities for Fife by investing in growing its economy, building stronger communities and reducing the inequalities that prevent individuals, families and communities from reaching their full potential.

As a registered partner of the Supplier Development Programme, Fife Council are committed to providing support to the local business community in the tendering process, ultimately supporting the economic growth for the area.

Fife Council’s Supplier Development Programme provides support to Fife businesses in 3 main ways:

• Raising awareness of the opportunities for SME’s from the public sector.
• Increasing business readiness to tender.
• Assisting SME’s in accessing tender opportunities

For more information on other business support available click through to the Fife Council website, or contact your local SDP advisor.
