Procurement Services

Public Services Delivery Scotland (PSD Scotland) delivers ethical, transparent and value‑driven procurement in line with national procurement legislation and the Scottish Government’s Procurement Journey.

We manage large‑scale national contracts and logistics services on behalf of NHS Scotland, ensuring public money is used effectively and that procurement activity supports people, communities and the environment. 

Our approach is grounded in robust supplier standards, sustainable practice and a commitment to supporting high‑quality patient care across Scotland.

This page provides procurement information and supplier resources for PSD Scotland, and signposts to procurement services (previously) delivered by NES and NSS.
