Under the terms of the Procurement Reform (Scotland) Act 2014 public bodies with an annual regulated procurement value of more than £5million are required to produce an Annual Procurement Report reviewing performance in procurement activity against the aims and objectives set down within their Procurement Strategy. The value of regulated procurement completed by the Association in 2023/24 was just under £3million and, therefore, fell below this threshold level. However, in line with good procurement practice we will continue to produce an annual procurement report to help monitor performance against our Procurement Strategy and objectives.
The Association undertakes a range of procurements each year and these are recorded within our procurement register, as appropriate. This document relates only to procurement that is defined as ‘regulated procurement’ under the terms of the legislation. Regulated procurements are public contracts for goods and services over £50,000 and for works over £2,000,000 in value.
