We cannot provide core Scottish Government spend with “Dry Cleaners” and “Laundries & Launderettes” for financial year 2017-18, as we do not hold this information at present.
 

The information contained in this FOISA response has been extracted from the Scottish Procurement Information Hub (the “Hub”) which is a tool to assist public sector organisations to analyse their spend profile. All suppliers on the Hub have been allocated to one spend category only, where in reality they may supply products or services that cover multiple categories. These limitations should be borne in mind when interpreting this response.
