Summary of the contracting process

The Scottish Government procured Waking Watch Services 3.0 from an external provider. The service covers waking watch provision, alongside fire-prevention, public security and patrol services. It is a re-let requirement, indicating continuation of the Scottish Government’s need for this service. The buyer is the Scottish Government; the procurement data does not identify a specific delivery location. This is a specialist operational security service rather than a supply of equipment or construction works, suited to providers able to deliver waking watch provision and related fire-safety patrols.

The procurement has been awarded to Chase Services Group Ltd, and the contract is recorded as active. The award value for the initial contract term is £7,380,000 excluding VAT; the stated maximum including the optional extension is £14,760,000 excluding VAT. The contract is for an initial 12 months, with an option to extend for a further 12 months. The award record gives no award date or contract start and end dates. Three bids were reported. No procurement method, lot structure, eligibility requirements or evaluation criteria are recorded in the process information.

The award demonstrates demand from the Scottish Government for a substantial, externally delivered waking watch service, combining fire-prevention, public security and patrol work. A credible competitor when this requirement next returns would need to show it can mobilise and sustain an operational service at this scale, with the staffing and management capacity to cover waking watch duties and related patrols. Experience delivering comparable fire-safety and security services would be relevant to demonstrating capability for the combined requirement. The contract was awarded to Chase Services Group Ltd after three bids were reported, providing a market signal that established service providers compete for this type of work. The process data does not state particular accreditations or mandatory qualifications.
