Summary of the contracting process

The Scottish Police Authority procured professional surveying services for an ad hoc programme of 3D estates surveys across its property portfolio. The work covers comprehensive building documentation using visual and laser-scanning technology, with survey information hosted on an integrated, secure cloud-based visual platform. Users must be able to capture, store, share and annotate as-built records, including photographs, UAV or drone imagery and 3D walkthroughs. This is a specialist building surveying and digital estate-records requirement, classified under CPV 71315000. Delivery is associated with the Authority’s property portfolio in Scotland, with the buying organisation based in Glasgow. The requirement may suit surveying practices, building information specialists, laser-scanning providers and firms able to deliver secure visual asset records alongside professional survey services.

The procurement has been completed and awarded following an open procedure. There was one lot, evaluated on quality at 60% and price at 40%. Digital Reality Corp Limited was selected as supplier. The contract value is £1,500,000. The award process began on 8 April 2026, the original submission deadline was extended for the Easter bank holidays to 22 April 2026, and the contract was signed on 17 August 2026. The initial contract period is three years, with the Authority holding an option to extend it by up to two further 12-month periods. The Authority may order more or less than the indicative quantities, subject to operational requirements and budget availability. Thirteen bids were received, including twelve from SMEs.

For a supplier that did not win, this award confirms a substantial, recurring requirement for specialist estates surveying and digital visual documentation within Scottish policing. A credible competitor would need practical capability in 3D building surveys, laser scanning, photography, UAV or drone capture, 3D walkthroughs and the delivery of secure cloud-based platforms for managing and annotating as-built records. The work also requires the operational capacity to respond to ad hoc surveys across a property portfolio and to support users of the resulting platform. Evidence of robust quality management is important: suppliers could demonstrate UKAS-accredited ISO 9001 compliance or an appropriate documented quality policy. Health and safety assurance, such as ISO 45001 or equivalent, SSIP membership, or a suitable policy, would also strengthen credibility.
