Planning Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Scottish Government is currently in the planning stage for a potential procurement titled "Reserved Commodities for Supported Businesses Framework - Request for Information." This process is focused on the goods category, specifically in the furniture sector, and takes place in Glasgow, UK. Interested businesses are invited to contribute to the development of a procurement strategy through a Request for Information (RFI) document that is attached to this notice. The information-gathering initiative commenced on 7th April 2022, with a future notice set for 8th April 2022. The RFI aims to assess market interest regarding a framework that could reserve goods and services for Supported Businesses within the public sector in Scotland.

This tender presents an opportunity for businesses classified as Supported Businesses to engage with the Scottish Government and potentially supply their goods and services to public bodies. The framework is designed to facilitate access to public procurement for businesses supporting social initiatives or employing individuals who face barriers to work. Companies that can demonstrate their alignment with Supported Business criteria stand to benefit from this initiative, expanding their market reach and contributing to the contracting opportunities available within the Scottish public sector.
