Specialist procurement advice leads to business wins

About the business

Trading for over 11 years, Rooftec Scotland Ltd provides a variety of roof construction services including full commercial and domestic roof installations.

The result of working with Business Gateway has seen us win a substantial public sector contract which will provide work for the business for several months, resulting in a major recruitment campaign to help us keep up with demand.

How Business Gateway has helped

Business Gateway provided Rooftec Scotland with expert procurement support, which included training on public sector operations and offering a detailed understanding of crucial polices when submitting tender documents across the public sector. Along with procurement support, Rooftec Scotland also received one-to-one business advice, strategic reviews and market research report assistance.

After taking advantage of Business Gateway’s expert procurement help, Rooftec Scotland was successful in winning a key public sector contract with a housing association worth over £270,000.

Mark Cattanach, Director of Rooftec Scotland, said: “The result of working with Business Gateway has seen us win a substantial public sector contract which will provide work for the business for several months, resulting in a major recruitment campaign to help us keep up with demand.

“The Business Gateway procurement support has been instrumental in helping us to understand the Public Contracts Scotland System, which can be quiet daunting when submitting your first tenders.”

Lorraine Taylor, business adviser at Business Gateway Falkirk, commented: “It is fantastic to see how Business Gateway’s specialist advice has helped Rooftec to grow and develop their operations, as well as raising their profiles in the public sector and increasing overall employment.”
