The Scottish Procurement & Property Directorate (SPPD) is the organisation tasked with procuring requirements on behalf of Scottish public sector bodies. The current suite of temporary and interim staff services frameworks is due to expire on 12.4.2023. Work will commence shortly to developing the procurement strategy options including canvassing of stakeholders' views. In order to complete and finalise the strategy, SPPD recognises the value of suppliers having the opportunity to contribute to this process on a non-competitive, non-judgemental basis.
This request for information is aimed at collating those views from market participants. This information may be utilised in developing the procurement strategy to help deliver contractual arrangements for temporary and interim staff services requirements.
Suppliers and other interested parties should read and complete the attached Request for Information Questback Survey by 15 October 2021.
Responses received after this date may not be considered.
