This tender process, characterised as a planning stage, focuses on services related to the Sustainable Energy Supply Chain programme set up by the Scottish Government. The planned procurement notice is related to the recent updates in public procurement regulations and anticipates further communication on 12 March 2018, following guidelines designed to support businesses in the energy efficiency and renewables sectors. This tender presents a valuable opportunity for businesses, particularly those engaged in energy efficiency and renewable consulting, installation, and assessment services, to enhance their competitiveness in public sector contracting. Potential bidders can benefit from the guidance included in the procurement guide, which covers critical aspects such as crafting invitations to tender, locating new business opportunities, and understanding procurement regulations. With energy efficiency identified as a priority for infrastructure development in Scotland, there is a significant potential for growth in contracts resulting from this initiative. ## Notice Energy Saving Trust has produced a procurement guide, accessed through this Prior Information Notice, to help suppliers bid more effectively for public sector contracts. ### Lot Information Lot 1 Energy Saving Trust manages the Sustainable Energy Supply Chain programme on behalf of the Scottish Government which was set up to support Scottish businesses in the energy efficiency and renewables markets. Working to help bridge the gap between government, businesses and customers we provide clear, impartial advice and practical support.
