## Summary

The Scottish Government has initiated a procurement for a Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) aimed at Internet of Things (IoT) services, identified as project SP-18-033. Located in Glasgow, this procurement process is currently in the active tender stage, with a submission deadline set for 18th August 2021. The procurement method is classified as selective, and it falls under the main procurement category of services, specifically within the general public services industry. Interested participants must comply with technical and economic criteria established for prospective bidders seeking entry into the DPS.

This tender presents significant growth opportunities for businesses operating in the technology and data analytics sectors, particularly those specialising in IoT solutions such as device management, data analytics, and cybersecurity. Companies with expertise in integrating IoT technologies, offering innovative data management systems, or providing essential security measures will find this competitive environment particularly well-suited for their capabilities. Moreover, given the anticipated growth of IoT applications within the Scottish public sector, successful bidders could expect contract values ranging from thousands to multi-million pounds, fostering business expansion and innovation in this emerging market.

## Notice

The Authority is establishing a collaborative Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) for Internet of Things (IoT). The main purpose of IoT is to collect and exchange data to create value. IoT is a system of physical objects or things, embedded with sensors, software, electronics and connectivity to enable improvements in performance by exchanging information or data with other connected devices over the internet which can generate useful information. Public sector organisations can make use of this data directly or via analytics tools to allow timely decisions and actions to be taken. The Scottish public sector is at an early stage with IoT but with forecast growth during the period of this arrangement providing innovative solutions and efficiency benefits. Due to the increase in the cyber threat, security is an important aspect of this IoT arrangement.
