Summary of the contracting process

The Scottish Prison Service is seeking a contractor to replace metal roofing on the external link corridors at HMP Grampian. The existing roof has deteriorated in the coastal saline environment, with corrosion around the fixings attributed to screws installed without rubber washers. The work is a roofing replacement project, covering the link corridors at the prison. The procurement is classified as building-roof repair work (CPV 45261900). The Scottish Prison Service is the buying organisation; the site is HMP Grampian in Scotland.

The buyer invited offers through an open procedure, with electronic submission. The process provides for an RFQ to be issued to bidders and responses to be evaluated by the Scottish Prison Service. There is one lot, covering the roof replacement project, and variant bids are not allowed. The bid deadline was 29 October 2026 at 11:00, with bid opening scheduled for the same time. The contract period is 9 November to 18 December 2026. The tender sets no estimated value or award criteria beyond evaluation in accordance with the RFQ. A document participation fee applies; its amount is not stated.

This opportunity is suited to roofing contractors able to undertake replacement of metal roofing on external link corridors at a prison site. Relevant experience would include working with deteriorated metal roof coverings and addressing corrosion around roof fixings in a coastal environment. Suppliers need the capacity to complete the works within the specified contract period and to deliver the replacement roofing at HMP Grampian. The procurement description does not set out particular accreditations, technical qualifications, staffing levels or minimum experience thresholds, so contractors should assess the RFQ requirements before deciding whether the work matches their capabilities.
