Below you will find detail around the contacts Stotles provides from each of our sources:

Procurement contacts

• Source: These contacts are collected directly from the procurement documents published by the public sector buyers (e.g., see contact details at the bottom of this page)
• Compliance & usage: As the type of outreach in question is business-to-business in nature, using these details for outreach is compliant on the legal basis of Legitimate Interests. In this case the legitimacy of the outreach is dependent on a number of factors (there is a 3 part test for this), including what message/content, frequency, opt out measures etc. of messages are being sent. Generally speaking, if you are conducting reasonable outreach that is relevant to the contacts professional capacity, you fall within the bounds of legitimate interest.

From a practical point of view, we see that contacting these individuals for biz dev / marketing purposes is common practice - so common in fact, that we would recommend that you use the more targeted contacts to avoid being "lost in the noise".
