Historic Environment Scotland tenders, awards, and pre-procurement notices.

Historic Environment Scotland is a non-departmental public body sponsored by the Scottish Government, and buys through its own procurement team in Edinburgh. The team checks for an existing Public Sector Framework before running a tender for larger contracts. Smaller purchases go to a minimum of three suppliers by written invitation to quote. Suppliers are judged on value for money rather than price alone, weighing after-sales support and whole-life costs.

Over the past 5 years, most of Historic Environment Scotland's contract awards have been in agricultural and horticultural services, IT services and research and development.
