These notices are published by public bodies on Public Contracts Scotland; we only list them and link to the official notice, which has the full documents, rules and how to apply. We do not run any tender, cannot advise on bids, and listing here has no effect on grades or ranking. Estimated values are the buyer's own figure and often cover the whole contract term, including extensions and every provider on a framework. We include notices about care, support, social work and related services, so a few borderline ones appear; always check the notice itself. Closing dates are shown in UK time on the notice.
