Planning Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Scottish Prison Service intends to procure specialist deep-cleaning services for kitchens and serveries across its establishments in Scotland. The work is expected to cover all SPS sites and will include deep cleaning of main kitchens, catering equipment and servery areas located in different parts of each site. It will also include inspection and cleaning of grease-extraction systems. This is a services contract for organisations experienced in commercial or institutional kitchen hygiene, catering-equipment cleaning and grease-system maintenance. The buyer is the Scottish Prison Service, based in Edinburgh, and the work will be delivered across Scotland, including at prison establishments. The relevant classification is CPV 90910000, cleaning services.

This procurement is at the planning stage and is published as a prior information notice for a forthcoming contract; it is not an invitation to tender. The Scottish Prison Service expects to issue the next notice on 1 December 2026. The procurement is planned as one lot covering the anticipated SPS estate. The contract value and contract duration have not been set out in the current planning information. Suppliers should prepare for the stated insurance requirements: public liability cover of £1 million and employers’ liability cover of £5 million. The procurement is covered by the Government Procurement Agreement. Any later competition will be subject to the buyer’s forthcoming procurement documents and timetable.

The work will suit established commercial cleaning contractors able to mobilise teams across multiple prison establishments in Scotland and deliver consistent standards at a national scale. Relevant capability includes deep cleaning of large professional kitchens, hygienic cleaning of catering equipment, detailed cleaning of serveries and inspection and cleaning of grease-extraction systems. Suppliers should be prepared to demonstrate robust operational controls, safe working practices and the capacity to coordinate delivery across all SPS sites. The stated insurance levels indicate that bidders will need public liability cover of £1 million and employers’ liability cover of £5 million. Specialist kitchen, food-hygiene and grease-system experience would position suppliers well when the contract reaches the market.
