Summary of the contracting process

The Scottish Prison Service (SPS) has initiated a procurement process for the provision of bedding items, including single duvets, pillow cases, single fitted sheets, single duvet covers, and towels, to be supplied across its 16 operational establishments housing approximately 7,500 prisoners throughout Scotland. This process, currently in the planning stage, involves two lots: Lot 1 for duvets and Lot 2 for broader bedding items. A future notice is expected to be published on 2nd June 2025, followed by an Invitation to Tender (ITT) that will be evaluated according to the SPS's guidelines. The procurement falls under the goods category and is classified under CPV code 39512200 (duvet covers), with delivery required throughout the UKM region.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in textile manufacturing and supply, particularly those with expertise in bedding products. Suppliers who can provide high-quality duvets, fitted sheets, pillow cases, duvet covers, and towels stand to benefit from a stable contract with a national agency. The opportunity is particularly well-suited for businesses experienced in large-scale supply contracts and those that can comply with stringent industry standards and delivery requirements across multiple locations in Scotland. Such suppliers can leverage this contract to enhance their market presence and reputation while contributing to the operations of the Scottish Prison Service.
