About
SPA has been supporting public sector organisations for the last decade through the development of localised and community-focused solutions designed to simplify the procurement journey and accelerate sustainable project delivery that creates meaningful advantages for local communities.
Working together to deliver better buildings, homes and communities.
After consultation with a range of stakeholders, the Scottish Procurement Alliance was formed and officially launched in March 2016. SPA is now the largest, free-to-join procurement organisation representing over 100 public sector organisations throughout Scotland, ranging from small Co-operatives, to regional and national RSL’s and Local Authorities.
Utilising intelligent procurement solutions can offer more than just competitive pricing. SPA works with its partners and supply chain to promote the delivery of tangible benefits through all projects procured through SPA frameworks. This ensures that benefit is not only enjoyed by those directly involved, but a positive impact is made to the wider community. Promotion of a positive social legacy is fundamental to everything we do at SPA.
How we operate at SPA is shaped by our values.
Our values, upholding excellence through:
- Integrity, respect, trust and transparency
- Knowledge and professional experience
- Being flexible, adaptable and creative
- Employing, developing and maintaining committed teams of happy and healthy employees
As a not-for-profit organisation, any surplus generated during the financial year is re-distributed back to eligible partners. We work in partnership with Lintel Trust who manage our Community Benefit Fund and support our Committee Partners in their delivery of community projects through the fund.
