The Scottish Government is extending its existing Internet of Things (IoT) supplier framework for another 12 months until September 2027. This is an open marketplace where technology suppliers can sell IoT solutions, equipment, and services to the public sector. New suppliers can apply to join, and existing suppliers automatically continue.

Likely requirements
Our reading of the notice. Always check the tender documents.
This is a highly technical contract for IoT technology suppliers. Tradespersons like electricians, plumbers, cleaners, and builders will not qualify unless you specialise in IoT technology, software development, or systems integration. Micro-businesses without cyber security credentials or public sector track record are unlikely to win.
How to bid
This is a Dynamic Purchasing System: an open list of approved suppliers. You can apply to join at any time while it runs, and once accepted you can bid for the individual contracts the buyer runs through it.
