Summary of the contracting process

The Scottish Prison Service has recently completed a procurement process for legal services titled "Legal Services - Litigation, Reparation, Employment & Inquiries." This contract, awarded to Anderson Strathern LLP, falls under the public order and safety category and was processed through a selective procurement method as a restricted procedure. The contract, valued at £1,076,000, was signed on 2nd February 2016 and is based on a mini-competition from a Scottish Procurement Framework, which has now been extended to January 2023. The procurement was initiated in Edinburgh, UK.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for legal service providers, particularly those specialising in litigation, human resources, and employment law. Small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with expertise in these areas would be particularly well-suited to compete, leveraging their agility and specialised knowledge to potentially secure contracts in the future. The completion of this contract may lead to further engagements for firms looking to establish or enhance their partnerships with public institutions, especially within the legal domain.
