## Summary

The Scottish Government has completed the procurement process for the "Consultant to Produce Tender Specification" tender. The buying organization is the Scottish Government, located in Edinburgh, UK, and it falls under the industry category of environmental protection and general public services. The tender involved seeking consultancy support to produce a tender specification for financial advisory services. The deadline for this tender was on 2024-03-11, and the procurement method used was an open procedure.

This tender creates business growth opportunities for consultancy firms offering financial advisory services. Businesses with expertise in policy development, business case development, credit rating processes, investor engagement, and issuance would be well-suited to compete. The Scottish Government aims to increase its Capital Borrowing limits from April 2024 and is seeking specialist advice through the Crown Commercial Services framework. Interested businesses can find more details on the awarded contract at the Public Contracts Scotland website.

## Notice

Since 2016, the Scottish Government's annual limits for Capital Borrowing were 450 million GBP with a cumulative limit of 3 billion GBP. However, following the 2023 fiscal framework agreement, Capital Borrowing limits will increase with inflation from April 2024. With the limits changing it is prudent to review the options available for Capital Borrowing to consider value for money, resource cost impact and maximising the use of the Fiscal Framework limits that are operational from April 2024. The Authority is therefore seeking consultancy support to produce a tender specification for the procurement of a financial advisor to support with the policy development, business case development, credit rating process, investor engagement and issuance.
