Scottish Enterprise requires a sanctions database that allows us to check and monitor the companies we work with for compliance with current and future sanction policy.
We need to identify if any company is subject to sanctions and/or has links with countries of concern. At present, we need to identify Russian and Belarusian links but need a future-proof system that allows the search to accommodate new countries being added to this list. Additional information: Economic operators may be excluded from this competition if they are in any of the situations referred to in Regulation 58 of the Public Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2015.
