Service Commissioning and Procurement Survey (2009)
The Service Commissioning and Procurement Survey was designed to find out more about the views, attitudes and experiences of procurement and commissioning staff working in local authorities, particularly in relation to 'the enterprising third sector' (http://www.scotland.gov.uk/Topics/People/15300). The survey was available between mid-March and mid-April 2009 and attracted 80 responses. Respondents were self-selecting and multiple responses were possible from individual local authorities, so findings should be considered indicative rather than necessarily representative of procurement and commissioning staff as a whole. The findings of the survey will be used to develop training for procurement staff across local authorities.
