Summary of the contracting process

The Scottish Prison Service has awarded a contract for the security network upgrade at HMP & YOI Grampian to Pointer Ltd. The procurement method used was a limited procedure without prior publication of a call for competition. The contract was signed on 20th February 2023, with a value of £23,600 GBP. The procurement was considered as a non-competitive action due to extreme urgency for the maintenance of the network.
