The question

To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, what the maximum amount of money is the Scottish Government can spend through the Crown Commercial Service on a single contract.

Answered by Georgia Gould

The Crown Commercial Service (CCS) provides public sector organisations with a range of commercial agreements, through which they can procure common goods and services, as well as offering commercial advice and procurement services. CCS does not set a limit on the amount that an individual organisation can spend on a single contract procured using CCS commercial agreements or services. It is the responsibility of each organisation, including the Scottish Government, to determine its own level of spend on each contract.
