VisitScotland, in short
Who does VisitScotland award contracts to?
Across 27 contracts recorded since 2021, VisitScotland has used 30 different suppliers. The most frequent are The Rocket Group (2 contracts), P&J Live (2 contracts), Culture and Sport Glasgow (1 contract).
What does VisitScotland buy?
Its most active procurement categories are business and professional services, IT services, research and development. Categories are derived from the CPV codes published on each award notice.
When do VisitScotland contracts come up for renewal?
No contracts awarded by VisitScotland 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 VisitScotland spend on contracts?
The median published contract value is £280k, across the 27 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 VisitScotland tenders?
Tender Radar monitors Find a Tender, Contracts Finder, Public Contracts Scotland and Sell2Wales each weekday morning and can score every new VisitScotland 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 9 November 2025 to 8 November 2026, each contract counted once however many suppliers or rows it has. The same window is used everywhere on this page.
- Has awarded contracts every year since 2021: At least one contract in every calendar year from 2021 to 2026, by award date (or publication date where the award date is later). Our records begin in 2021.
- Took on 14 new suppliers in the last 12 months: Suppliers named on a contract it awarded and published since 9 November 2025, and on none before. Counted by organisation, not by spelling.
- Has not published end dates for its contracts: None of its 29 contracts gives an end date on the award notice.
- Most recent award: recorded 2 Nov 2026 (6 days ago).
- Since 2021: totals count contracts by award date from January 2021, and suppliers by organisation rather than by spelling.

Figures cover contract award notices published from January 2021 onward, with comprehensive coverage from 2023. Earlier contracts, and any award not published to Find a Tender or Contracts Finder, will not appear. Figures may lag the source portals. Relative dates (such as “in 6 days”) count from 8 November 2026, when this page was built.
