Audit and Risk Committee meeting - Paper 3: Geographic location of contracts awarded - 14 November 2025

This document contains information for the Audit and Risk Committee about procurement activity for the year ending 31 October 2025, focusing on where the successful suppliers are located; this information was requested by a committee member. The Park Authority awarded 43 contracts in total, with 20 advertised publicly on Public Contracts Scotland (PCS) to comply with regulations. Nine contracts were published via the Quick Quotes portal on PCS to selected tenderers, and 12 lower value contracts were awarded based on a minimum of three quotes. Most winning tenderers (71%) are based outside the park boundary, while 29% are based in or around the park. The data collected will help develop a procurement approach that benefits the local community, and the Park Authority aims to support local firms through fair practices.
