Scottish public tenders open now

111 open tenders from Scottish councils, health boards, housing associations and other public bodies, of any size. Updated 31 October 2026.

Why a separate page: Scottish buyers publish on Public Contracts Scotland, and most of their notices don't say whether a tender suits small firms, so few of them appear in my main list of SME-marked tenders. Every open one is here instead: check the size and the requirements in each notice.

Competition: open competitions run by buyers here drew a median of 4 bids, and 31% drew two or fewer (394 with a published bid count on Find a Tender since June 2026). Across the UK: 5 bids and 23%. The method.
