About the buyer

Larger contracts often route through Scotland Excel framework agreements, the collaborative procurement body owned by Scottish councils. A dedicated procurement team operates from Carruthers House in Dumfries, the council's headquarters. Low-value, low-risk work goes out as direct quotes rather than full tenders, a route aimed at small, local suppliers. Annual procurement performance is reported under the Procurement Reform (Scotland) Act 2014.

UK local government drives £140bn in annual procurement, led by social protection (£66.6bn) and education (£57.1bn).

Over the past 5 years, most of Dumfries and Galloway Council's contract awards have been in health and social work, construction work and repair and maintenance.
