OJEU - F2 - Contract Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Scottish Government is seeking suppliers for Internet of Things (IoT) technologies and services through a collaborative Dynamic Purchasing System. The requirement covers IoT-related equipment, connectivity, communications, monitoring, software, systems integration, technical consultancy and associated information technology services. The scope is classified under CPV 72000000 for information technology services. Delivery is across Scotland. Individual requirements will be purchased through later call-off contracts, with community benefit requirements determined for each call-off. The arrangement also includes provisions for subcontracting. It is intended for businesses that can supply, implement, integrate or support IoT technologies and related digital infrastructure for public-sector use.

The procurement has reached tender: the Scottish Government invited offers using a selective restricted procedure within an open Dynamic Purchasing System. The estimated total value is £3,500,000. The extended contract period runs for 2,880 days, and the tender deadline was set for 17 September 2027 at 12:00 UTC. The second stage is intended to invite at least 30 candidates, with an invitation date of 17 September 2027. Technical quality carries 40–80% of the evaluation and price 20–60%; the precise weighting can vary within those ranges. Variants are not allowed. Bids must be submitted electronically in English and remain valid until 17 September 2027. Electronic ordering and payment are supported, and electronic invoicing is allowed.

This opportunity suits suppliers with established capability in IoT technologies and services, including connected devices, sensors, communications networks, data platforms, monitoring systems, software, systems integration and technical support. It is relevant to businesses able to deliver multi-disciplinary digital services for public-sector call-offs across Scotland, either directly or through compliant subcontracting arrangements. The broad scope may suit specialist technology firms, telecommunications and connectivity providers, software and platform developers, managed service providers, systems integrators and technical consultancies. Suppliers should be able to demonstrate sufficient operational capacity to respond to multiple potential call-offs and work within a competitive second-stage process. Community benefit commitments may be required for individual contracts.
