Public procurement strategy: 2023 to 2028

Ministerial Foreword

We must use public spending power to make Scotland a better place to live, work and do business. How we procure goods, works and services should promote inclusive economic growth, create fair opportunities for all, and accelerate our just transition to a net zero economy.

This Public Procurement Strategy for Scotland outlines the bold and ambitious plans we have for Public Procurement. It's a vision and a plan for our future that will provide a clear way forward that all public sector bodies can align to and deliver against.

Inspired by the collaborative approach taken to develop this strategy, the aspirations it contains reflect how we can collectively drive Public Procurement forward in Scotland.

To maximise the impact procurement can have, we must empower our procurement community to be bold, ambitious and innovative. Working across sectors and boundaries to deliver Scotland's economic recovery now and into the future.

Mr Arthur Minister for Community Wealth and Public Finance
