Scottish Government procurement strategy: April 2025 to March 2028
Describes how we plan to carry out our regulated procurements for the next three years. We carried out the annual review of the strategy in November 2025 and are content it remains relevant and requires no substantial changes.
4. The Scottish Procurement and Property Directorate (SPPD)
The Scottish Government is responsible for developing public procurement policy and legislation in Scotland and, like all public bodies, its own procurement activity. These functions are managed through the Scottish Procurement and Property Directorate (SPPD).
The directorate is made up of seven divisions which provide a range of commercial and property services. For procurement, our role is to lead and deliver public procurement in Scotland at national, central government and Scottish Government levels.
We deliver a best-in-class Procurement and Property Service to:
- maximise impact and leverage for economic, social and environmental benefit;
- deliver operational excellence;
- use our leadership and influence across the Scottish public sector.
