Summary of the contracting process

The Scottish Prison Service has concluded a procurement process for the maintenance and repair of radio-based staff alarm systems at six of its sites across Scotland. This contract, identified as 01261B, falls within the services category, specifically focusing on security equipment maintenance. The procurement method applied was limited, specifically an award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition, citing that certain services are exclusively available from Securitas Technology Limited. The contract, valued at £300,000, was signed on 25th September 2025, following the completion of an OJEU Open tender that originally began in 2014. The procurement process was duly completed with the award being active as of the latest update.

This tender provides an opportunity for businesses specialising in security equipment maintenance and repair services to engage with a national agency. Although the specific contract was awarded without a competitive call for bids due to the proprietary nature of the services required, companies that can offer niche or specialised services similar to those required for this project may find potential for future collaboration with public sector organizations like the Scottish Prison Service. Large-scale businesses with expertise in handling radio-based alarm systems and infrastructure across multiple locations, particularly within the UK or similar regions, are well-positioned to vie for such opportunities in the future.
