Summary of the contracting process

Public Services Delivery Scotland, part of NHS National Services Scotland, procured new roll cages together with a repair and maintenance service for damaged cages. The requirement therefore covers both the supply of replacement or additional roll cages and the ongoing inspection, repair and maintenance of existing cages; a supplier needed to provide both elements. The goods and related services are for delivery across Scotland. The main goods classification is CPV 44613600, with CPV 44619000 covering other transport or storage equipment. The procurement was run by the Scottish public health services buying organisation, with the framework intended to support its operational and logistics requirements. This is relevant to manufacturers, distributors and specialist service providers able to combine roll-cage supply with responsive repair capability.

The procurement is complete and was awarded through an open procedure as a single-supplier framework for one lot. Four bids were received, all from SMEs and all submitted electronically. The award criteria were price at 70% and quality at 30%; variants were not allowed. The award period began on 30 September 2024, when bids were opened, and the contract was signed on 1 November 2024. Palletower (GB) Ltd was selected. Two recorded active contracts for the lot have values of £129,290 and £388,000 respectively, both signed on 1 November 2024; these figures are reported separately and are not totalled. The initial contract period is 720 days, with two optional 12-month extensions at the authority’s discretion. The contract value was later modified because additional demand exceeded anticipated volumes.

This procurement indicates established demand from a Scottish public-sector logistics operation for a supplier that can deliver new roll cages and maintain the installed fleet, rather than supplying equipment alone. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need dependable manufacturing or distribution capacity, practical repair and maintenance capability, and the ability to support deliveries across Scotland. It would also need to present a strong quality case alongside competitive pricing, since quality accounted for 30% of evaluation and price for 70%. The single-supplier framework and subsequent additional demand show the importance of reliable capacity and service continuity. Smaller businesses were able to compete: all four recorded bidders were SMEs, so a specialist SME with both supply and after-sales capability could be well placed.
