## Summary

The Scottish Government has announced a contract for the "Scottish Procurement Information Hub," which has been classified under data analysis services. This procurement process is currently complete and falls under the services category. The award was made to DXC Technology, with a contract value of £1,100,000, finalised on 16 March 2021. The project is centred in Glasgow, UK, and aims to support various public sector bodies in Scotland, including local authorities and NHS Scotland. The procurement method was a limited procedure, undertaken without prior publication due to extreme urgency stemming from the COVID-19 pandemic.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for companies specialising in data services and analytics, particularly those that can deliver cloud-based solutions and possess experience in data sanitisation and reporting tools. Businesses engaging in data collection, processing, and analysis will find themselves well-positioned to compete in future procurements within the Scottish public sector. The upcoming phases may open up further opportunities for service providers willing to collaborate on enhancing public sector procurement efficiencies, particularly in the context of consolidating procurement data across multiple organisations.

## Notice

The Authority has a requirement to provide a web-based spend analysis tool and other associated tools currently known as the "Scottish Procurement Information Hub". The Hub will be available to Scottish public sector bodies and organisations including the Scottish Government, Local Authorities, NHS Scotland and Higher and Further Education.
