## Summary

The Scottish Government is conducting a public procurement process under the title "Reserved Commodities for Supported Businesses Framework". This procurement falls within the goods category, and the bidding activity took place in Edinburgh, UK. The procurement method used is an open procedure, with the tender published on 24 December 2018, while the contract signing also occurred on that date. This framework is reserved for supported businesses and is structured to last for two years, with options for two one-year extensions.

This procurement presents significant growth opportunities for SMEs, especially those focused on the supply of furniture, document management services, personal protective equipment, and signage. Businesses that classify as supported enterprises, especially those in the furniture manufacturing and service management sectors, will be particularly well-positioned to participate and benefit from the multi-million pound contracts that are being awarded under this framework.
