Summary of the contracting process

The Scottish Prison Service has recently completed a tender process for Design & Technical Services related to the development and property conditions for the proposed new HMP Highland in Inverness. This procurement was initiated with a limited method, specifically an award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition, due to urgent requirements to fulfil planning conditions. The contract was signed on 18 August 2020, with a total value of £50,000. Key contact for the procurement is Gavin Weetman, reachable via email at gavin.weetman@sps.pnn.gov.uk or telephone at +44 1313303771. The procurement falls within the public order and safety industry category.

This tender provides significant opportunities for professional advisory firms with expertise in technical design and planning services, particularly those familiar with public sector projects. Businesses that have previously collaborated with the Scottish Prison Service or have a robust understanding of construction and facility management could leverage this experience to compete effectively. The ongoing development of HMP Highland will require continual technical support, presenting potential follow-up contracts and long-term partnerships for successful bidders.

Notice Information

Notice Title

Design & Technical Services

Notice Description

Specialist professional advisory services relating to development and property / facility related conditions for the proposed new HMP Highland in Inverness.

Lot Information

Lot 1

Professional services to co-ordinate and discharge matters relating to the planning permissions for HMP Highland in Inverness. The supplier worked with the SPS to undertake actvity relating to the original planning permissions granted in 2017/18. The project was suspended prior to planning conditions being fully addressed. The SPS intends that the supplier would now take forward further work and actions to address specific conditions in the planning consents and to conclude these actions this year. This final additional piece of work is budgeted at approx. 50,000.00 GBP plus VAT

Procurement Information

Work needs to be taken forward expeditiously to conclude Matters Specified in Conditions (MSCs) attached to the original planning consents for HMP Highland. Recent approval to progress HMP Highland to tender stage generates an urgent and time sensitve requirement for specific technical resources from the supplier (Baker Hicks Ltd) to update a number of specialist reports and elements of the design activity that they previously undertook for this project to support conditions attached to planning consent. These services therefore consist of the repetition of similar services entrusted to the economic operator as part of the original contract i.e. activities to support the design and SPS obtaining full planning consent for HMP Highland. Competition is absent for technical reasons in that the supplier has completed significant work to date and is able to draw on this knowledge and the same technical resources to complete this final stage.
