Summary of the contracting process

The Scottish Police Authority procured end-to-end professional property services covering property acquisitions and disposals. The appointed provider is expected to coordinate and manage delivery, provide professional advice, handle complex property matters and support informed decisions on property assets. The work includes property acquisition, disposals, valuations, agency services, surveys, consultancy support and other related services. The purpose is to support the Authority’s operational and strategic objectives, effective asset management, risk reduction and value for money. Services are delivered for Police Scotland at the Scottish Police Authority’s premises on French Street, Dalmarnock, Glasgow. This is a property and land consultancy service for a public safety organisation, classified under CPV 70000000, real estate services.

The procurement has been completed and awarded following an open procedure. Six electronic bids were received, including two from SMEs. J & E Shepherd was selected for the single lot. The contract was awarded on 8 July 2026, signed on 9 September 2026 and is active. Its value is £999,999.99. The initial contract period is three years, with the Authority able to extend it by up to two further 12-month periods; the recorded maximum duration is 1,800 days. Evaluation gave technical quality 70% and price 30%. The requirement included a right to purchase additional property services during the contract. Bids had to remain valid until 4 January 2027. English was the required submission language.

This opportunity shows continuing demand from the Scottish Police Authority for a property consultancy able to manage acquisitions, disposals and associated professional services under one controlled delivery model. Credible competitors would need current RICS or RTPI membership, professional expertise in valuations, agency work, surveys, property transactions and complex property advice, together with the capacity to retain overall responsibility where subcontractors are used. Relevant evidence should include two comparable service contracts completed within the previous three years. Strong candidates would also have robust quality management, either UKAS-accredited ISO 9001 certification or a documented, senior-approved quality policy. The work requires high insurance capacity, sound financial standing, appropriate governance and data protection controls, and personnel able to meet Non-Police Personnel Vetting Standards Level 2.
