Review, Monitor and Reporting

Compliance checks will be undertaken at key stages of Transport Scotland’s regulated procurements to identify issues regarding adherence to policy and legislation requirements. Transport Scotland will continue to review the existing procurement compliance check process for its regulated procurements and enact improvements where necessary.

Data gathering relating to regulated procurements will be carried out to identify community benefits resulting from procurement activity, the volume, value and nature of contracts and sub-contracts with SMEs, and contracts placed with supported businesses and the third sector.  This data will be used to identify trends and any areas of policy requiring intervention and will be included in Transport Scotland’s Annual Procurement Report.
