Procurement: SME and third sector action plan 2024-2026
Sets out Scottish Government actions for the next two years (2024 to 2026) to collaborate, engage and reduce the barriers for SMEs and third sector organisations when engaging with public procurement processes.
"This strengthens and reiterates our commitment to small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and third sector organisations as well as setting out how we continue collaborating with industry and the wider public sector in Scotland.
SMEs and third sector organisations are crucial to the economic, social and environmental health of Scotland through supporting local areas, creating jobs and building strong communities. This action plan sets out the steps we will take to support and improve opportunities for SMEs and third sector organisations within the procurement process."
