Summary of the contracting process

The public procurement process for providing warehousing and distribution services for Scotland Gas Networks (SGN) recently moved into its award stage as of 7th November 2025. The competitive dialogue process, under a selective procurement method, was completed with a contract officially signed on 10th October 2025 for a total forecasted value of £46.2 million across two lots: Logistics Services and Implementation, and Logistics Bespoke IT Solutions. This initiative, based in the UK, involves SGN collaborating with GXO Logistics UK Limited to optimise end-to-end logistics functions. Both lots of this contract were notably awarded to the same supplier, although they faced cancellation during earlier stages of the tender process, highlighting the dynamic nature of public procurement.

This tender represents significant growth potential for businesses that excel in logistics and IT solutions, particularly those offering integrated distribution centre management, waste management, or sophisticated warehouse management systems. It is particularly suited for large-scale logistics providers and IT solution companies that can offer comprehensive services, including real-time tracking, reverse logistics, and bespoke IT support. Engaging in such public sector contracts allows businesses to enhance their portfolio and credibility, paving the way for further opportunities within the governmental and large corporate spheres.
