Summary of the contracting process

The Scottish Prison Service has awarded a contract for occupational health services to Optima Health UK Ltd through an open procedure. This procurement falls under the services category, specifically focusing on public order and safety within the UKM region, primarily servicing the SPS estate. The contract, valued at £2.33 million, was officially signed on 20th March 2025. The procurement process was initiated to enhance employee well-being, work fitness, and ensure statutory compliance. As of the latest update on 20th April 2026, this contract is in the award stage and has been fully executed. The Edinburgh Sheriff Court serves as the review body, ensuring adherence to legal standards.

The contract offers significant business growth opportunities for large-scale suppliers specialising in occupational health services. While the procurement process was open, Optima Health UK Ltd, a large-scale enterprise based in Sheffield, was the only bidder, indicating a competitive advantage for organisations already established in this sector. Suppliers with expertise in health assessments, advice, and surveillance can benefit from similar future tenders by fulfilling the vital needs of public sector organisations, such as the Scottish Prison Service. This is an opportunity for businesses aiming to expand their service offerings in the public safety sector and gain a foothold in public contracts across the UK.
