Summary of the contracting process

The Scottish Prison Service procured works to completely refurbish the kitchen facilities at HMP Greenock. The project covers closure of the existing kitchen, installation of a temporary portable kitchen before the main works begin, localised demolition, renewal of internal surfaces, mechanical and electrical services, and fit-out of a new commercial-grade kitchen. The work is classified under CPV 45421151, covering installation of non-metal joinery elements, and is categorised as construction works. Delivery is at HMP Greenock in Greenock. The requirement is for a contractor able to coordinate temporary catering arrangements with the refurbishment and deliver the associated building, services and specialist commercial-kitchen fit-out works within a prison environment for the Scottish Prison Service.

This procurement is complete and has been awarded following an open procedure with electronic submission. The tender deadline was 3 April 2026 at 12:00, with award evaluation starting that day. Clark Contracts Limited was selected for the single lot, and the contract was signed on 21 August 2026. The contract value is £1,703,734 including the stated currency of GBP, with a contract duration of 180 days. Two bids were received, including one from an SME. Evaluation included a pass-or-fail assessment of financial standing, covering turnover relative to Scottish Prison Service business, assets and liabilities, interest cover, gross margin and operating margin. Required insurance levels were £10 million employers’ liability, £10 million public liability, £1 million pollution liability and £5 million professional indemnity.

For suppliers monitoring Scottish Prison Service demand, this award demonstrates a substantial, single-site prison refurbishment combining enabling works, temporary facilities, building alterations, mechanical and electrical services, and commercial-kitchen installation. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need experience managing complex refurbishment in a live custodial setting, coordinating temporary operational facilities before construction, and integrating multiple construction and specialist engineering trades. The successful supplier profile also points to the need for robust project management, sufficient financial resources and demonstrable control of commercial risk. Firms should be able to evidence strong financial information across the measures used by the buyer, and maintain high levels of employers’, public, pollution and professional indemnity insurance. A main contractor with reliable specialist kitchen and building-services partners would be well placed.
