Suppliers and other interested parties should read, populate and return the RfI by midday on 19 October 2026. This notice is issued for information only and does not constitute a call for competition. Any national collaborative arrangement will be available to the Scottish public and third sector bodies detailed within the Contract Notice. Scottish Government and the Scottish Ministers shall have no liability for any costs, however incurred, by those organisations engaging in the RfI process, attending any information meetings, or having any involvement in the proposed procurement process.
