## Summary

Scottish Enterprise has initiated a tender process under the title "Clusters Playbook & Directory," seeking services to design and build an online tool for Scottish clusters, including a website, playbook, and industry directory. This procurement process, categorised under Economic Affairs, is being conducted through an open procedure and is valued at £95,000. The tender is currently in the "tender" stage, with submissions due electronically by 11:00 a.m. on 6th November 2025. The project, located in Glasgow, UK, aims to boost the Scottish Clusters Programme in partnership with the Scottish Government and other regional enterprises. Key components include strengthening the ecosystem of industry clusters in Scotland by leveraging various assets across the country.

This tender presents a prime opportunity for businesses specialising in digital solutions, web development, and strategic industry support to contribute to Scotland's innovation-driven economic framework. Companies with an average annual turnover of at least £80,000 over the past two years and a strong track record in handling complex online systems will find this opportunity appealing. Additionally, businesses capable of demonstrating robust environmental management practices and those providing prompt supply chain payments are well-positioned to succeed. The project not only fosters collaboration amongst Scottish clusters but also offers the successful bidder a platform to play a pivotal role in enhancing local industries' growth potentials.
