Summary of the contracting process

The Scottish Government is seeking an external service provider to deliver service contracts for ARE-Three Peak Scientific XE70 nitrogen generators. The requirement covers repair and maintenance services for generators, including work by engineers trained specifically to install, repair and service Peak’s proprietary gas-generator technologies. The procurement is classified under CPV 50532300, with generators also classified under CPV 31120000. The contract is intended for generator service provision connected with the Scottish Government’s operations. The Scottish Government is the buying organisation and acts as a central purchasing body. The requirement includes community benefits, requiring the successful tenderer to propose benefits relevant to the contract and supporting Scotland’s social, economic and environmental wellbeing.

The procurement has reached the tender stage: the Scottish Government invited offers through an open procedure, with electronic submission in English. The tender submission deadline was 20 August 2026 at 12:00 BST; bids were scheduled to be opened at the same time. The estimated contract value is £52,000. The contract period is 720 days, with an option to extend by 36 months subject to Scottish Government approval. Evaluation is weighted 70% technical quality and 30% price. Bidders cannot submit variants. Selection includes trained technical staff, a current ratio of at least 0.9, professional risk indemnity insurance of at least £2 million, public liability insurance of at least £5 million and employers’ liability insurance of at least £5 million.

This opportunity suits specialist generator maintenance providers with engineers experienced in Peak Scientific’s proprietary gas-generator technologies. Suppliers must provide staff names and qualifications, demonstrate the ability to install, repair and service the relevant equipment, and explain their environmental management measures. The selection requirements also call for evidence of action to build awareness of the climate emergency and plans to reduce organisational carbon emissions, including planned projects. Bidders must state whether they intend to subcontract and, if so, the proportion of work involved. Financially sound firms are well placed to compete, provided they meet the required current-ratio threshold and insurance levels. The successful supplier must also submit a contract-relevant community benefits proposal.
