OJEU - F1 - Prior Information Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Scottish Prison Service intends to procure deep cleaning services for kitchens and serveries at its establishments across Scotland. The scope covers deep cleaning of main kitchens and catering equipment, inspection and cleaning of grease-extraction systems, and deep cleaning of servery areas in different parts of each site. The requirement is classified under CPV 90910000, covering cleaning services. The procurement is expected to cover all Scottish Prison Service sites, making this relevant to suppliers able to provide coordinated commercial cleaning and specialist kitchen-cleaning services across a national estate. The work is categorised as services and relates to public-sector food preparation and catering facilities.

This procurement is at the planning stage: the Scottish Prison Service has announced its intention to procure, but this record is not an invitation to tender. The planned contract is arranged as one lot and is expected to cover all Scottish Prison Service sites. The buyer’s expected date for the next notice is 1 December 2026; this is an indicative publication date rather than a deadline for responses. The procurement is covered by the World Trade Organization Government Procurement Agreement. The planned contract concerns services delivered across Scotland, including the inspection and cleaning of grease-extraction systems and deep cleaning of kitchens, catering equipment and serveries.

The requirement should suit established commercial cleaning contractors with the workforce, equipment and management systems to deliver consistent deep cleaning across multiple secure public-sector sites. Relevant experience is likely to include kitchen and catering-equipment cleaning, grease-extraction system inspection and cleaning, and work in operational facilities where hygiene, access control and safe working practices are important. Suppliers should be prepared to demonstrate £1 million of public liability insurance and £5 million of employers’ liability insurance. Firms that can coordinate teams and service delivery across Scotland, while maintaining reliable standards at every establishment, are likely to be best placed when the requirement reaches the market.
