This contract, titled "SPS-11002 Supply and Installation of Data Centre at SPS Central Stores," falls under the industry category of public order and safety. The procurement process utilised an open procedure method and progressed through the planning, tender, and award stages, with the contract being signed on 8th June 2026. The awarded contract amounts to approximately £415,089.73, and is aimed at enhancing the operational infrastructure due to the upcoming closure of the current facility at the Scottish Government's Saughton house.
