The Scottish Government Procurement ICT team recently carried out a survey to find out what suppliers and users thought of our Dynamic Purchasing Systems. We received a high volume of responses and some very positive feedback from both user groups.
The survey found that 66% of suppliers found the call to competition process positive, and an impressive 81% of suppliers also found the DPS experience better than other procurement routes.
Top three user benefits
• Speed
• Choice of suppliers
• Ease of use
The feedback received has also identified some areas for future development.
