Summary of the contracting process

The Scottish Government, operating from Glasgow, has awarded a contract titled "Secure Care Services (Kibble Education and Care Centre)" within the services industry category. This procurement is related to the provision of secure accommodation for children, and it has been undertaken via a limited procurement method. The process did not involve prior publication of a call for competition as the contract is a call-off from the Scotland Excel framework, with reference number 1822 - Secure Care Services. The procurement stage has advanced to contract award as of 7th July 2026, with the contract signed on 29th May 2026. The contract is valued at £22,750,000 and covers the region of the United Kingdom for an initial period of 34 months, with a possibility of extension for an additional 24 months.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses engaged in providing secure care services. Primarily, this contract could benefit organisations specialising in childcare services, especially those capable of accommodating and caring for children requiring secure placements. The opportunity for extension and significant contract value make it ideal for small to medium enterprises like Kibble Education and Care Centre, which has successfully secured the contract. Businesses in the public services sector, particularly those with prior experience and infrastructure for providing specialised care for children in secure environments, stand to gain considerably from such contracts.
