Summary of the contracting process

The Scottish Prison Service (SPS) has initiated a procurement process for the provision of employee relocation services, intended to assist their staff with the sale and purchase of accommodation and facilitating moves to new permanent living accommodations. The procurement is aimed at ensuring that SPS can offer a guaranteed sale price for the existing living accommodation of their staff members. The process is currently in the Tender stage, with all submissions mandated to be made electronically by 12:00 on 18th October 2024. The expected contract start date is the same day, with the bid opening scheduled for 13:00. The contract will run for 1080 days, with an option for renewal up to an additional 24 months. The procurement follows an open procedure, indicating that it is accessible to all suppliers meeting the defined criteria, particularly in financial and economic standing, with a focus on the quality and pricing of bids.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses specializing in relocation services, including those with the capability to handle guaranteed sale price arrangements and comprehensive support for moving to new accommodations. Companies experienced in offering such services across Scotland can leverage this tender to secure a long-term contract with a national agency like the SPS. The open procedure allows for broad competition, meaning businesses small to large with a robust financial background and proven capabilities can compete, providing a chance to enhance their portfolio and establish a partnership with a major public sector entity. The specific requirement for detailed staff qualifications also suggests an opportunity for businesses with highly trained personnel to stand out.
