Summary of the contracting process

The Scottish Police Authority is currently in the planning stage of a public procurement process for the design and construction of a police custody centre, titled "Design and Construction of Police Custody Hub". This initiative falls under the 'works' main procurement category with an emphasis on construction related to law and order. The procurement process is focused on sites across multiple locations within Police Scotland, primarily in the UKM region. Potential suppliers are invited to submit completed Requests for Information (RFI) by 12 noon on 13 February 2026.

The Scottish Police Authority is seeking to engage with firms that can provide advanced expertise and innovative solutions, offering a significant chance for businesses to showcase their capabilities and expand their footprint in public sector projects.
