Work has commenced in the development of procurement strategy options for the Framework. Scottish Procurement recognises the value of suppliers and industry bodies having the opportunity to contribute to this process on a non-competitive, non-judgemental basis.

Following receipt of the completed RfI, Scottish Procurement may engage directly with interested suppliers to obtain further market intelligence.
