List on G-Cloud — it is free, refreshes annually, and a large share of public SaaS spend is direct-awarded through it, so your service descriptions and search keywords on the Digital Marketplace are effectively your bid.

Register on Public Contracts Scotland and PCS-Tender — nothing Scottish reaches English portals reliably. Scottish policy emphasises community benefits (their social-value equivalent), fair work practices (real Living Wage, no inappropriate zero-hours) and SME access through lotting; Scotland Excel frameworks are the route into council goods and care markets, and Quick Quotes on PCS distribute sub-threshold work to registered suppliers only.
