OJEU - F2 - Contract Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Scottish Prison Service is buying fabric for its in-house textile workshops, which manufacture bedding and towel items for use across the Scottish Prison Service estate. The requirement covers polyester fabric for bedding products and cotton fabric for towelling. Deliveries are to be made to sites in Perth, Shotts in Lanarkshire and Kilmarnock. This is a goods supply opportunity in the textiles and furnishing-materials sector, with the relevant classification covering textile fabrics. It will suit manufacturers, wholesalers and specialist distributors able to supply the required polyester and cotton materials and deliver them to multiple Scottish locations. The supplies will support prison-service operations rather than an external commercial laundry or finished-product manufacturing contract.

The procurement has reached tender: the Scottish Prison Service invited offers through an open procedure, with responses submitted electronically in English. The tender submission deadline and bid opening were set for 25 September 2026 at 14:00 UTC, with evaluation scheduled to start at that time. The contract period is 1,080 days, and bids must remain valid for 60 days after submission. There is one lot. Evaluation is based on price, weighted at 70%, and quality, weighted at 30%. Variants are not permitted. The opportunity is covered by the Government Procurement Agreement. The procurement is for a single contract and does not include renewal options or additional purchasing options.

This opportunity suits suppliers with reliable access to polyester bedding fabric and cotton towelling fabric, together with the operational capacity to manage regular deliveries to Perth, Shotts and Kilmarnock. Relevant businesses may include textile mills, fabric manufacturers, wholesalers and distributors serving institutional or public-sector customers. Suppliers should be able to provide consistent material quality and specifications across the contract and coordinate deliveries to several sites. The requirement is particularly relevant to businesses experienced in supplying fabric for bedding, towels or other textile-workshop production, rather than only finished goods. Because price carries most of the evaluation weighting, commercially competitive supply arrangements will be important, while the quality element means bidders will also need to demonstrate that their materials meet the stated requirement.
