The council also publishes its live contracts and forthcoming tender opportunities in its own dedicated contract register. That register is hosted on the same Public Contracts Scotland platform for public viewing. Procurement decisions and contract standing orders are overseen by the council's Contracts and Property Committee. Glasgow is moving suppliers onto a new Supplier Portal to handle electronic invoicing for its contracts.
