The submission route named on the official notice.
This is a large award for Electrical Machinery & Apparatus — above three-quarters of comparable contracts. Based on 5,617 valued Electrical Machinery & Apparatus tenders in our corpus.
Scottish Government has published 5 Electrical Machinery & Apparatus notices, about every 11 months. On that rhythm the next one is expected around June 2027.
25% of Scottish Government’s awards go to a supplier it has used before.
Which is the argument for getting on the list rather than winning this one. The incumbent is rarely the last winner — it is the roster. See the retention odds by category →
The Authority is further extending its collaborative Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) for Internet of Things (IoT) for an additional 12 months until 19 September 2026.
The DPS will remain open for new suppliers to apply to join.
However, existing suppliers that are currently on the DPS do not need to re-apply and will remain on the DPS.
