Summary of the contracting process

The Scottish Prison Service bought firestopping survey services to assess the condition of firestopping across its prison establishments and identify remedial work required. The main locations are HMP Barlinnie, HMP Low Moss, HMP Kilmarnock, HMP Greenock, HMP Dumfries and Lilias Centre in Glasgow, with the possibility of work at other Scottish Prison Service establishments during the contract. This is a specialist building safety and fire protection surveying requirement, classified under CPV 75251110. The Scottish Prison Service is the public-sector buyer and the services are delivered across its estate. The requirement covers a single lot and includes surveys intended to give the buyer a current understanding of firestopping conditions and the remedial measures that may be needed.

The procurement has been completed and awarded following an open procedure. Bids were due by 22 June 2026 at 2pm, with bid opening at the same time. Adman Int Ltd was awarded the contract on 10 July 2026, and the contract was signed that day. The estimated procurement value was £100,000; the awarded contract value is £32,800. The contract period is 720 days, with an extension option of up to a further two years. Three bids were received, all from small or medium-sized enterprises, and all were submitted electronically. Variants were not allowed, a fee applied for tender documents, and submissions had to be in English. Electronic ordering and payment apply, while electronic invoicing is permitted.

This award shows that the Scottish Prison Service uses external specialists to survey firestopping across a geographically dispersed and operationally demanding prison estate. A credible future competitor would need practical expertise in inspecting firestopping installations, recording their condition consistently and identifying the remedial work needed to restore compliance or performance. The requirement favours a supplier able to organise surveys across several prisons and other secure establishments, work around site-specific access and operational constraints, and produce clear findings that can support repair planning. The successful supplier was an SME, and all three bidders were SMEs, indicating that the work can be approached by focused specialist firms rather than only by large national contractors. Experience managing multiple public-sector or high-security sites would strengthen credibility.
