Scotland Excel

Scotland Excel is the Centre of Procurement Expertise for local government in Scotland. Established in 2008, we provide award-winning services to Scotland’s 32 local authorities and more than 150 associate members from across the public and third sectors.

A £2bn contract portfolio provides members with an effective route to market for goods and services used in the delivery of care, construction, roads, transport, waste, corporate, education and ICT services. We also help our members increase their procurement capability and skills through consultancy, improvement projects, resourcing services, and the Scotland Excel Academy.

Scotland Excel’s corporate strategy for 2023-28 was developed around key public sector challenges such as financial pressures, climate change, community wellbeing, local economic development, and workforce skills. Our services are continually evolving to ensure they are commercially focused and community driven.

As a leading organisation in public procurement, Scotland Excel works with the Scottish Government and other public sector partners to champion procurement’s role in delivering value for money, supporting innovation, and building robust supply chains. At a community level, this translates into new jobs and training, lower environmental impact, and the sustainable delivery of local services.
