About the buyer

East Lothian Council is the local authority for East Lothian in Scotland, procuring goods, services and works across the region. Larger contract opportunities are advertised through Public Contracts Scotland, the national portal for Scottish public sector tenders. Suppliers register there and switch on Supplier Finder to be matched against the council's requirements. Smaller requirements are sourced by direct quotation, with the council inviting a minimum of three suppliers. A corporate procurement team based at John Muir House in Haddington manages sourcing and contract awards. Award notices and a public contracts register are published for transparency.

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 East Lothian Council's contract awards have been in construction work, IT services and transport equipment.
