Procurement Surgery Aims
Procurement Surgeries will:

Signpost and prepare businesses to local support, aiming to increase their confidence when tendering with the public sector;
Assist suppliers in gaining knowledge of local supply chain opportunities across Fife and Tayside;
Help the Councils build relationships with suppliers and break down barriers to bidding;
Raise awareness of the opportunities within public sector procurement, such as Regulated Procurement Pipelines; and
Support suppliers in becoming “tender ready” with the Supplier Development Programme to better understand and respond to the “ask” from local authorities in procurement.

Bookings for Procurement Surgeries must be booked in advance by SMEs by logging into the SDP website and answering the required questions that are part of the booking process. Suppliers will be placed on a waiting list in the first instance, and allocated a time slot by the Supplier Development Programme.
Please note: these Procurement Clinics are open to eligible SME businesses based within Angus, Dundee City, Fife and Perth & Kinross Councils only. To learn what local support is available to you in your local authority, please login to your account and contact your local SDP Rep.
This Procurement Surgery will be hosted by Angus Council.
