Background
The Procurement Reform (Scotland) Act 2014 sets out the requirement for the Scottish Police Authority (SPA) to publish a procurement strategy because it has procurement spend in excess of £5m per annum.
The Scottish Police Authority (SPA) has statutory functions, which includes entering into contracts in order to carry out its statutory functions. Although the Scottish Police Authority is the Contracting Authority for all Police Scotland procurement, the SPA delegates the operation of a procurement function to put in place such contracts to Police Scotland.
