Overview
University of Edinburgh - Procurement Portal is a completely new enhancement to our web site. It offers suppliers the ability to view University of Edinburgh contract announcements in real time. University of Edinburgh uses BiP Solutions' e-notice service Project, for placing EU and non-EU public notices, and facilitates the publication
of these notices immediately on this procurement portal giving suppliers instant access to the contract opportunities.
Background
The European Commission recommends in the Consolidated Procurement Directive
that authorities provide their purchasing and procurement information via a
Buyer Profile and this facility has been incorporated in this procurement portal.
The buyer profile provides information on purchase plans, contact details, future,
current and past contracts. By publishing this information University of Edinburgh offer suppliers
the opportunity to identify future opportunities, respond to current opportunities
and to view which suppliers have already been engaged along with the goods and/or
services purchased.
