Contract Award Notice

A Contract Award Notice is how a public sector buyer formally advertises that a contract award has been made. 

All Scottish public bodies must publish their Contract Award Notices on Public Contracts Scotland (PCS) for their regulated procurements.  Regulated procurements are all contracts with an estimated value of £50,000 or above for goods and services (excluding VAT) for goods and services.

Buyers can also publish Contract Award Notices for unregulated procurements, if they choose to do so.  Unregulated procurements are contracts with an estimated value below £50,000 (excluding VAT) for goods and services.  These may be procured through Quick Quotes or a call off from a Framework Agreement.
