The supplier led innovation portal, designed by a pan sector team opens the door to innovative ideas and solutions.
This service has been developed as part of a collaborative project between Scottish Government Scottish Procurement and Property Directorate (SPPD) and National Services Scotland (NSS), working together with representatives from Scotland Excel, Advanced Procurement for Universities and Colleges (APUC), Scottish Enterprise and Civtech amongst others.
What is Scotland Innovates?

For those aiming to bring viable and approved innovations to market there is a five step process:
- registration
- innovation submission
- triage
- assessment
- delivery
