Summary of the contracting process

The Scottish Courts and Tribunals Service (SCTS) is in the planning stage of a procurement process for the provision of legal textbooks. This initiative aims to rationalise existing agreements and streamline the ordering process across their Supreme Courts and Sheriff Courts Library Services. The procurement, identified under tender ID SCTS-2024-087, falls under the category of 'goods' and is classified specifically as textbooks (CPV: 22112000). The procurement stage is planned with a Request for Information (RFI) due on 28th October 2024. This contract is valued at approximately £465,000 GBP, and the delivery addresses are located within the UK, particularly in Scotland (UKM). The SCTS, headquartered at Saughton House, Edinburgh, invites suppliers to participate in this procurement opportunity.

This tender presents significant potential for business growth for publishers and suppliers of legal books and printed materials. Businesses specialising in printed matter, including textbooks and library books, and those experienced in serving judicial institutions, will find this opportunity beneficial. By consolidating multiple supplier agreements, the SCTS seeks an efficient and streamlined procurement process, making it an attractive proposition for well-organised and capable suppliers. Companies that can offer competitive pricing, timely delivery, and high-quality legal textbooks will be particularly well-suited to compete for this contract, thereby expanding their market presence and customer base within the public sector.
