Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the supply of hot food trolleys to all Scottish Prison Service (SPS) sites began with a planning stage identified by "SPS-02005" and included a sequence of tender and award phases. The buying organisation, Scottish Prison Service, based in Edinburgh, sought goods under the "Public order and safety" industry category aiming to enhance kitchen operations across its establishments. The procurement method deployed was an "open procedure," ensuring transparency and broad competition for interested parties. The contract was successfully awarded to Corsair Engineering Ltd, an SME located in Banbury, with the contract being signed on 10 June 2024 for a total value of £258,624. Key deadlines throughout this process included the tender submission end date on 3 November 2023, followed by the award period commencing on the same day.

This tender offers significant business growth opportunities, particularly for suppliers of catering equipment that can operate in demanding and varied conditions, such as those described in the tender notice. Ideal candidates are businesses capable of providing durable, all-terrain food trolleys fit for use in SPS environments. Given the successful award to Corsair Engineering Ltd, other SMEs offering innovative or competitive solutions in the kitchen equipment sector stand to benefit by positioning themselves for similar future contracts. The focus on public safety and order services also implies potential contracts in related sectors, presenting a growth pathway for companies adept in navigating public procurement mechanisms.
