Lot #1This is the award of a contract following a Voluntary Ex Ante Transparency (VEAT)…Awarded

This is the award of a contract following a Voluntary Ex Ante Transparency (VEAT) notice without prior publication of a call for competition in the Official Journal of the European Union.

The VEAT was published under notice: 2021/S 000-005275

The Scottish Government is entering into a contract with DxC to continue to provide the Scottish Procurement Information Hub. This is to preserve the integrity of spend data provided by the Hub to all public sector organisations and continue to meet commitments to regularly publishing accurate data. Additional information: Due to COVID-19 staff were diverted to assist in other projects related to the response to the pandemic. This meant that procurement timetables to retender the service were no longer achievable and we were unable to consult properly with the user base or interested suppliers.
