Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Scottish Police Authority procured industrial freezers: double-door cabinet and single-door cabinet models, including supply and delivery. This is a goods requirement for commercial refrigeration equipment, classified under CPV 39711100 (refrigerators and freezers). Delivery is recorded in Scotland, with Glasgow identified as the Authority’s location. The equipment is for the Authority’s operational use; the procurement description does not specify a further application or technical model requirements.

The procurement has been awarded to Nisbets Limited, and the contract is active. The award date is not stated; the contract was signed on 21 January 2026. The contract value is £59,999 and its period is 360 days. The requirement was arranged as one lot covering supply and delivery of both double-door and single-door cabinet industrial freezers. The available procurement details do not state the procurement method, competition procedure or evaluation criteria. The Authority later increased the existing contract value to maintain continuity of supply while a replacement procurement was in progress; this change did not extend the contract period or materially alter the scope.

For suppliers tracking future Scottish Police Authority requirements, this award demonstrates demand for commercial cabinet freezers supplied and delivered for operational use. A credible competitor would need to source and supply both double-door and single-door industrial freezer cabinets and manage delivery in Scotland. The selected supplier, Nisbets Limited, is recorded as a large business, indicating that a supplier with the capacity to fulfil an institutional equipment order may be well placed. The Authority’s decision to increase the existing contract value to preserve supply during a replacement procurement also shows the importance of dependable continuity of supply. Relevant commercial strengths include a reliable freezer supply chain, delivery capability and the ability to maintain provision during procurement transitions.
