Tender description
India’s rapid growth, demographic advantage, and policy focus on digitalisation, renewable energy, and manufacturing make it a compelling destination for trade and investment collaboration. For Scotland, which boasts global leadership in renewable energy, food and drink, higher education, financial services, and life sciences, deepening engagement with India can unlock mutual opportunities in trade, innovation partnerships, and inward/outward investments. The signing of the recent UK-India Free Trade Agreement will unlock a raft of greater opportunities for Scottish businesses once the FTA is ratified in 2026. Our knowledge of the opportunities in India is limited and narrow and a broader overview is required so that we can calibrate our engagement accordingly. The Scottish Government seeks to commission research that will provide a comprehensive overview of India’s macroeconomic, social, and business environment, including its regulatory landscape. This research will also analyse trade and investment dynamics between India and the UK (with a specific focus on Scotland) and map Indian states and regions that could serve as strategic partners based on sectoral synergies with Scotland’s economic strengths.

About the buyer
The Scottish Government is a devolved central government department that buys through its Scottish Procurement and Property Directorate. Regulated procurements across the Scottish public sector are advertised on Public Contracts Scotland, the national portal set up in 2008. Bids are usually submitted through PCS-Tender, the national eTendering system it funds. The directorate also runs frameworks covering construction, corporate services, ICT, professional services, utilities and HR. Many of these frameworks are open to the wider Scottish public sector as well as central government. The Supplier Development Programme offers free tender training to SMEs and third sector organisations.
Procurement spend from central entities makes up 66% of overall UK public spend.
Over the past 5 years, most of the Scottish Government's contract awards have been in business services, IT services and research and development.
