Scotland Excel’s Market Development team is focused on exploring and researching new and innovative collaborative framework opportunities for our local authority and associate members.
Scotland Excel’s Market Development team was established in late 2024 following discussions with our members. These discussions highlighted several procurement opportunities that warranted further investigation. The primary goal of the team is to explore and develop innovative procurement opportunities across various categories and sectors.
The team places a strong emphasis on supporting projects that contribute to achieving net zero emissions. This involves identifying procurement opportunities that promote sustainability and reduce carbon footprints.
Another critical focus is on enhancing social value. By identifying and developing procurement opportunities, the team helps stimulate local economies. This can lead to job creation and support for local businesses, contributing to overall economic growth.
The team also aims to achieve significant commercial savings for our members. By identifying cost-effective procurement solutions, we help local authorities and other stakeholders manage their budgets more efficiently.
We work closely with our members, external stakeholders and partnerships to support the strategic processes for assessing future procurement development. The team presents a range of new opportunities which help our customers to meet the challenges faced today and in the future.
By presenting a range of new opportunities, the Market Development team helps our members meet current and future challenges. The team's efforts contribute to sustainable development, social well-being, and financial efficiency, ultimately benefiting the communities we serve.
