Scotland Excel’s Flexible Procurement Services provide cost-effective resourcing solutions for all kinds of procurement projects. As a non-profit organisation, our expert services are delivered by the public sector for the public sector, with a team of procurement professionals who have in-depth experience and understanding of the challenges facing the sector.
The Scottish public sector operates in an increasingly complex and challenging environment, with organisations facing significant budget pressures, evolving procurement regulations, and rising expectations around transparency and accountability. Balancing these demands while addressing sustainability goals, managing supplier risks, and embracing digital transformation requires a strategic approach to procurement.
Many public sector organisations are further constrained by limited resource, capacity or expertise, making it difficult to deliver efficient and compliant procurement projects. We understand these challenges and our flexible procurement service is specifically designed to address them.
For example, the Flexible Procurement Services team have recently partnered with Forestry and Land Scotland through the agency model to provide additional resources which ensure they are able to maintain their complex and time sensitive procurement delivery calendar.
Another client, Crown Estate Scotland has been working with us through the agency model since 2023. We have delivered a range of tenders for them in areas such as finance, construction, leadership development, and IT.
The Care Inspectorate is another long term partner, with our team supporting their digital transformation programme through tendering and contract management activities.
Other projects we have successfully delivered for public sector organisations include:
- Delivering a managed learning and associated services contract for Scottish Parliament.
- Providing market research and strategy development consultancy services to Cairngorms National Park Authority.
- Managing several complex national framework call-off projects for the Improvement Service which led to collaborating on the development of a new service for the public sector.
