Contract Opportunities after 11pm on 31 December 2020
Contract opportunities from Scottish public bodies will continue to appear on Public Contracts Scotland (PCS).
As well as appearing on PCS, higher value notices will also appear on a new UK e-notification service called Find a Tender Service (FTS) which replaces the requirement to publish notices in the Official Journal of the European Union (via their TED) system. (PCS will direct notices automatically to the new FTS system). Notices published by public bodies in the rest of the UK may also be found on FTS.
Public sector contract opportunities that were launched but not concluded before 11pm on 31 December will still be published via OJEU/TED, on FTS as well as PCS.
Public Contracts Scotland will continue to manage this process and Scottish public bodies will use PCS as normal to create and publish contract notices.
