Summary of the contracting process

The Scottish Prison Service (SPS) initiated a public procurement process to secure a supplier for the provision and maintenance of energy-efficient televisions suitable for in-cell use across its establishments. The procurement, classified under the "Public order and safety" category, covers all SPS locations within the UKM region. The open procurement method ensures a competitive process, with the tendering phase concluding on 16th January 2026. This project highlights the SPS's commitment to maintaining the functionality of its existing TV infrastructure, emphasising the need for durability and potential repair services over the contract's duration. The procurement has reached the award stage, with Cello Electronics (UK) Ltd selected as the supplier, signing the contract on 10th March 2026 for a value of £540,000.

This tender presents substantial business growth opportunities for suppliers within the electronics or home appliance industries, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with the capability to deliver and maintain TVs that combine energy efficiency and resilience in correctional environments. The procurement favours bids where quality accounts for 40% and price for 60% of the award criteria, offering an advantageous position for competitive pricing strategies. Businesses with expertise in sustainable technologies, durable product manufacturing, and responsive repair services stand to benefit from the continuity of service necessitated by this contract, potentially extending their offerings within the public sector.
