The contract, titled "Award of DJUST-HM Inspectorate of Prisons for Scotland Website Support and Maintenance," falls within the services industry category, specifically website design and support services (CPV 72413000). The procurement process was executed through a direct award method, meaning the contract was awarded to a single supplier without competition. The award stage was reached on 25th February 2025, with the contract starting on 4th January 2025. The project is located in Glasgow, spearheaded by the procurement team of the Scottish Government, with the supplier being The Gate Worldwide, based in Edinburgh.
