Annual Procurement Report 2023-24

The AiB Procurement Report details our performance against our Procurement Strategy for the 2023-24 financial year. It has been written in accordance with Section 18 of the Procurement Reform (Scotland) Act 2014 and SPPN 2/2023.

AiB has not exceeded the £5,000,000.00 threshold considered to represent significant procurement expenditure this reporting year. However, this report has been developed and published to uphold the fundamental public procurement principle of transparency.

This report will detail:

• a summary of the regulated procurements that have been completed during the year covered by the report (see notes below)
• a review of whether those procurements complied with the AiB Procurement Strategy
• the extent that any regulated procurements did not comply and a statement of how AiB intends to ensure that future regulated procurements do comply
• a summary of any community benefit requirements imposed as part of a regulated procurement that were fulfilled during the year covered by the report
• a summary of any steps taken to facilitate the involvement of supported businesses in regulated procurements during the year covered by the report
• a summary of the regulated procurements the authority expects to commence in the next two financial years
