    Other than minor or bespoke purchases, the Scotland Office does not undertake direct procurement or tendering projects. It utilises existing service contracts between suppliers and the Scottish Government or the Ministry of Justice. Since May 2010, only one contract has been issued directly by the Scotland Office. This was issued to the Royal Mail in 2011/12 for its role in providing candidates’ free mailing in the Scottish Parliament election of 2011, the value of which was just over £6.4 million.
