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.
