Summary of the contracting process

The Scottish Prison Service (SPS) has successfully completed a procurement process for packaging materials, with a contract awarded to Antalis Digital Sales. This process, marked by reference ID SPS-02229, pertains to the goods category under the industry classification of "Mail or parcel bags." The procurement, conducted through an open procedure, involved supplying sealed bags, paper bags, bubble wrap, and compactor sacks to establishments across the UK, specifically within the UKM region. The initial ITT (Invitation to Tender) process began with bids evaluated based on quality and price criteria. Although the tender faced a cancelled lot, the contract remained effective as of 25th July 2025. Previously, the tendering stage commenced in July 2024, with submissions required by late August 2024.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in packaging solutions, particularly those capable of providing tailored products for institutional use. Companies focusing on sustainable and innovative packaging would find this contract aligns with their core offerings and may uncover potential long-term collaboration with a national agency like the SPS. Additionally, small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) will find this tender a promising entry point due to the active participation and award success of an SME supplier. This procurement illustrates not only immediate business growth but also potential for renewal, given the SPS's requirement for recurring supply over subsequent years.
