Summary of the contracting process

The Scottish Police Authority, headquartered in Glasgow, has awarded a contract for the supply and delivery of portable X-ray equipment under the industry category of Public Order and Safety. The contract, with a total value of £111,981, has been awarded to Scanna MSC Ltd, a supplier located in London, and was finalised on 12 March 2026. The procurement process, falling under the 'goods' category, utilised a limited procurement method, specifically a direct award without prior competition publication through the Crown Commercial Service Low Value Purchase System. This procurement decision was made to enhance officer and public safety by enabling deployment of portable x-ray equipment to incidents involving suspicious packages across Scotland. The procurement process commenced on 1 April 2026 in the award and contract stage, ensuring the equipment's prompt deployment for public safety measures.

This tender presents significant growth opportunities for businesses specialising in safety technology and equipment. Suppliers of portable imaging and diagnostic equipment, particularly those focusing on non-intrusive security measures, would be well-suited to compete for similar contracts offered by public bodies. SMEs capable of providing innovative solutions in portable imaging technology, and those interested in collaborating with public law governed entities, can benefit from understanding the procurement procedures of the Crown Commercial Service. Engaging in such contracts allows businesses to expand their footprint within the public safety sector and align their products with public service innovation initiatives. As the contract was completed on an award basis without prior competition, familiarisation with direct award procedures could further position businesses favorably in future procurements.
