Please be advised that we do not keep this information in a format that is easily accessible to be able to provide the detail required. To collate this information would required a considerable amount of staff time and this would cost the Council in excess of £600. In accordance with section 12 of the Freedom of Information (Scotland) Act 2002, excessive cost, we are therefore unable to comply with your request.

Nonetheless we can confirm that you could access all this information by searching the notice facility on PCS (you do not need a log in to do this), please see:  https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/ As this information is otherwise available then this FOI is exempt under Section 25 - Information Otherwise Accessible and available.

Furthermore we can confirm that the advertising portals we use are Public Contract Scotland (PCS) and Public Contract Scotland Tender (PCS-T).
