Summary of the contracting process

The Scottish Prison Service is seeking a contractor for repairs to various roofs at SPS College. The works comprise full replacement of a deteriorated slate roof and partial replacement of a failed flat-roof system. This is a building and roofing works opportunity, suited to contractors able to plan and deliver both pitched slate-roof replacement and flat-roof repair or replacement. The delivery location is SPS College. The Scottish Prison Service is the organisation buying and managing the requirement. The procurement is arranged as one lot, covering the described roof works. The requirement is intended to appoint a contractor to carry out the works rather than supply materials separately, so businesses should be able to take responsibility for the construction delivery and associated site activities.

The procurement has reached tender: the Scottish Prison Service invited offers through an open procedure, with electronic submission. Bids were due by 21 September 2026 at 14:00, with bid opening at the same time. The contract period is 150 days. The buyer scheduled evaluation and award activity to start on 21 September 2026 at 14:00. Bidders must submit in English and may not offer variants. The tender is evaluated in accordance with the Request for Quotation. The contract requires the successful bidder to have, or commit to obtain before contract commencement, employers’ liability insurance of £5 million, public liability insurance of £1 million and professional indemnity insurance of £1 million. No renewal or additional-purchase option applies.

This opportunity suits established roofing and general building contractors with practical experience of replacing slate roofs and repairing or partially replacing flat-roof systems. Businesses should have the workforce, supervision, equipment and supply-chain arrangements needed to deliver both work types within a 150-day programme at SPS College. The requirement is also suitable for contractors able to manage a complete works package, including site coordination, safe working and delivery of roofing activities rather than only supplying products. Bidders need to be able to provide the required insurance cover, either already in place or secured before the contract starts: £5 million employers’ liability, £1 million public liability and £1 million professional indemnity. Electronic tendering and English-language submissions are required.
