EA Bulletin: 367 Scotland

As highlighted in bulletin 365 Scotland, we have reviewed and updated the Invitation to Register (ITR) forms. 

The finalised forms have now been approved by the Secretary of State and have been shared with EMS suppliers.  

You can view our latest ITR forms on our website.

As mentioned in bulletin 356 Scotland, these forms are prescribed in law, and as such both the content and the layout must not be changed by EROs, Local Authorities or parties. 

Thank you for your patience with these updates.
