Summary of the contracting process

The Scottish Police Authority sought to engage specialist building survey services to conduct 3D estate surveys over a five-year period for properties across the UKM region, specifically Glasgow. The tender, titled "Specialist Building Surveys," was initiated as an open procedure under the services category, with an intended contract value of £1,500,000. Initially, the tender was set to close on 9th January 2026 but was extended multiple times, with a final deadline pushed to 3rd February 2026. However, the procurement process recently marked this tender as cancelled, noted on 29th January 2026, during the awarding phase, indicating that the contract was not successfully awarded, and the process was discontinued.

This tender presented potential opportunities for businesses providing professional surveying services, particularly those equipped with visual and laser scanning platforms to capture comprehensive 3D data, such as photo, UAV/drone, and 3D walkthroughs. It offered substantial growth prospects, especially for firms familiar with cloud-based platforms for data management and enterprises meeting explicit quality management and insurance requirements. The opportunity was suited for companies with the ability to supply detailed documentation services securing accurate "as-built" visual records. Although the tender was ultimately not awarded, similar procurement activities in the public services sector can provide openings for firms focused on technological advancements in surveying and data capture to enhance operational capabilities and expand into new service areas.

Tenders are asked to provide their company number within the SPD to allow the Authority to access a Credit Safe Report. Within such reports, the risk of business failure is expressed as a score of 30 or below (high risk of business failure). In the event that a company is determined to have a risk failure rating of 30 and below i.e. that the company is considered to have a high risk of business failure, the submission will not be considered further. If you are successful in the award of this contract and your risk failure rating falls below 30then the SPA reserve the right to remove you from this contract. It is the Contractor's responsibility to ensure that the information held by Credit Safe is accurate and up to date. For the avoidance of doubt, the SPA will request a report from Credit Safe following the closing date for the receipt of the Tenders to ensure that the most up to date information is used. Where you are not registered on Credit Safe e.g. charitable organisations or new start companies/ Sole Traders with less than 3 years trading history, discretionary powers are available to the Director of Finance to consider abbreviated accounts along with bankers references etc. Tenderers should be aware that any outstanding County Court Judgements will have a detrimental effect on the rating held by Credit Safe and it is your responsibility to ensure that the information held by Credit Safe is accurate and up to date - failure to do so will result in rejection of your submission. IMPORTANT NOTE: This requirement is not applicable to Sole Traders/ Charities. Sole Traders/ Charities may be required to provide a bankers reference if successful."
