## Summary

The Scottish Government has awarded a contract for the management of grant schemes aimed at the Newly Self Employed and Mobile Close Contact Service Providers. This procurement process, initiated as a tender, took place in Glasgow, Scotland. The award was made on January 29, 2021, for a total value of £1,500,000.
