Summary of the contracting process

The Scottish Prison Service intends to replace staff tea-point facilities at HMP Low Moss in Glasgow. The works cover removing and disposing of existing materials, supplying and installing new tea-point components, and completing the associated builders’ work to provide fully fitted facilities. The contractor must provide the cut-outs, interfaces and access needed for electrical and plumbing reconnections, which the Scottish Prison Service’s maintenance staff will carry out separately. This is a facilities refurbishment and installation project within the prison; the scope is limited to staff tea points rather than the prison’s wider catering or building services.

This procurement is at the planning stage: the Scottish Prison Service has stated its intention to award a contract, but there is no invitation to tender yet. The buyer expects to publish a contract notice and then make a request for quotation available for bidders, with responses assessed against that request. The next notice is expected on 4 November 2026; this is the buyer’s indicative publication date, not a response deadline. The procurement is arranged as one lot. No estimated contract value or budget is stated in the process information. The evaluation basis and participation requirements are to be set out in the later quotation request.

This project is likely to suit a building fit-out or refurbishment contractor able to remove redundant fixtures, supply and install staff kitchen or tea-point components, and complete the related builders’ work in an operational prison environment. Suppliers should be prepared to coordinate closely with the Scottish Prison Service’s maintenance personnel, leaving suitable cut-outs, service interfaces and access so that the buyer’s staff can reconnect electrical and plumbing services. The scope calls for a complete fitted installation, rather than supply-only delivery. Firms with relevant experience in commercial or institutional interiors, safe site working and coordinating interfaces between trades will be well placed to prepare. The buyer has not yet set out specific accreditations or capacity thresholds in this planning information.
