From a broad market to the next useful action.

Public procurement produces planning, tender, award and contract records. Scout turns that published activity into three practical supplier jobs.

  1. Find the right activity

    Search procurement notices from Find a Tender, Contracts Finder and Public Contracts Scotland with useful dates, stages, values and industry filters.

  2. Understand the buyer

    Move from a notice into buyer publications, awards and related organisations before deciding where your team should spend time.

  3. Keep the work moving

    Save searches and notices, follow buyers, add tags or notes, export selected records and return to the latest activity in Today.

See the buyer behind the notice

Decide with the activity in view.

Buyer pages bring recent publications, awards and related organisations beside your account work. Every notice keeps its official source route for verification.

  1. Guide

    What is public procurement?

    Understand how public bodies turn a need into a fair buying process, a supplier decision and a public contract.

  2. Guide

    What is a tender?

    Separate the buyer's notice and documents from the supplier's tender, then read a real opportunity without confusing it with an award or contract.

  3. Guide

    How to find public-sector tenders

    Build a practical, cross-industry search using the work you sell, the buyers you want to reach and the records worth monitoring.

Evidence boundary

The published record stays visible.

Scout organises public procurement records for practical supplier work. Source facts, normalised fields and labelled generated explanation remain distinct.

Start with the buyers and markets that matter to you.
