Scottish Funding Council, in short
Who does Scottish Funding Council award contracts to?
Across 4 contracts recorded since 2021, Scottish Funding Council has used 12 different suppliers. The most frequent are Rocket Science (UK) Limited (3 contracts), EKOS Limited (2 contracts), IFF Research Limited (2 contracts).
What does Scottish Funding Council buy?
Its most active procurement categories are research and development, financial and insurance services. Categories are derived from the CPV codes published on each award notice.
When do Scottish Funding Council contracts come up for renewal?
No contracts awarded by Scottish Funding Council currently have a recorded end date within the next 18 months. Not every award notice publishes an end date, so this is a floor rather than a complete picture.
How much does Scottish Funding Council spend on contracts?
The median published contract value is £400k, across the 4 contracts that state a value. Published values are not added up here: a framework's value is a ceiling shared by every supplier on it, and the same value is often repeated across lots, so adding them up would overstate what is spent.
How can I be alerted to new Scottish Funding Council tenders?
Tender Radar monitors Find a Tender, Contracts Finder, Public Contracts Scotland and Sell2Wales each weekday morning and can score every new Scottish Funding Council notice against your organisation's profile, delivering the relevant ones before 9am alongside their contracts approaching renewal.

How these figures are worked out
- The last 12 months: award notices published from 8 November 2025 to 7 November 2026, each contract counted once however many suppliers or rows it has. The same window is used everywhere on this page.
- Took on 11 new suppliers in the last 12 months: Suppliers named on a contract it awarded and published since 8 November 2025, and on none before. Counted by organisation, not by spelling.
- Has not published end dates for its contracts: None of its 7 contracts gives an end date on the award notice.
- Most recent award: recorded 27 Oct 2025 (1 year ago).
- Since 2021: totals count contracts by award date from January 2021, and suppliers by organisation rather than by spelling.
