Statements on Expenditure 2023-24

The Scottish Government sets targets of 3% efficiency savings to be achieved each year. This is achieved through seeking better contract terms, managing our contracts to ensure we are using these appropriately and monitoring and reporting on spend. We also continue to seek new ways to do things by investing in our technology to reduce time spent on clerical and administrative processes.

We aim to achieve value for money through the use of Scottish Government Frameworks and AiB owned contracts. This is done by ensuring the best balance of cost and quality is achieved in each procurement process, contributing to effective contract management processes, and continuous improvement. 

We report on commodity spend and on/off contract spend throughout the year and will continue to develop savings and benefits reporting.
