Summary of the contracting process

The Scottish Police Authority procured project management and professional services to support the development of a facilities management contract. The work covers procurement and supply-chain consultancy delivered for the Authority. It was run as a mini-competition under the Crown Commercial Service Management Consultancy Framework Four (MCF4), reference RM6309, Lot 6, which is focused on procurement and supply-chain services. The relevant service category is business and management consultancy and related services, classified under CPV 79400000. This opportunity is therefore aimed at consultancies and professional services firms with experience of shaping facilities management arrangements, managing procurement activity and advising on supply-chain matters for a public-sector client. The contracting organisation is the Scottish Police Authority, based in Glasgow.

The procurement has been awarded following a mini-competition under MCF4 Lot 6. Arcadis was selected with an awarded value of £665,046. The resulting contract is recorded as active and was signed on 6 October 2026. Three bids were recorded. The requirement was evaluated through the framework mini-competition process, with the detailed assessment basis set out in the mini-competition documentation. This was a single awarded requirement rather than separate published awards or lots within this process. The contract concerns project management and professional services for facilities management contract development, specifically procurement and supply-chain activity. Businesses reviewing the result should treat Arcadis as the appointed supplier and the recorded value as the award value for this requirement, rather than as a general framework-wide value.

This award shows that the Scottish Police Authority uses specialist consultancy support to develop facilities management contracts through an established management consultancy framework. A credible competitor for comparable work would need to demonstrate strong project management and professional advisory capability, particularly in procurement, supply-chain design and facilities management contract development. Experience of working with public-sector buyers and navigating framework mini-competitions would be commercially relevant, as would the capacity to lead a substantial, specialist assignment rather than provide only discrete advice. Firms combining procurement expertise with facilities management knowledge may be well placed to compete, either independently or through a consortium that brings together contract-development, supply-chain and project-delivery skills. The requirement is relevant to management consultancies and professional services providers operating in these fields.
