Notice Information

Notice Title

Award of SPPD-Auction Services

Notice Description

The Scottish Government has a requirement to place a contract with an external supplier for the provision of property auction services. The Scottish Government regularly reviews the property assets held within the various parts of the organisation and arrangements are made to dispose of surplus properties. This most frequently involves the appointment of an agent to undertake marketing of the property. However, there are occasions when this approach is either inappropriate or simply unsuccessful.In these cases, an alternative method of seeking to dispose of property is required, and auctions offer a method of offering the property for sale openly and securing a buyer, which meets the requirements of the Scottish Public Finance Manual and the NHS Scotland Property Transactions Handbook.It is intended that the Contract will be used by organisations to which the Scottish Public Finance Manual (SPFM) and the NHS Scotland Property Transactions Handbook (PTHB) are directly applicable.
