## Summary

The Scottish Prison Service (SPS) initiated a tender for "The Provision of Temporary Maintenance Staff," aimed at securing qualified personnel to support maintenance across its facilities in Scotland. This procurement process, which is currently in the planning stage, is classified under the services procurement category with an emphasis on supply services for personnel. The tender is set to conclude on 2 August 2021, and the procurement will follow an open method, allowing a maximum of three suppliers to be awarded a framework agreement following an Invitation to Tender (ITT).

This tender provides significant opportunities for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) specialising in facility management, staffing solutions, or maintenance services. Companies that can demonstrate relevant qualifications, security clearances, and experience in providing temporary staff would be well-positioned to compete for this contract. The scope of the work encompasses positions within public prisons and associated facilities across Scotland, making it an appealing opportunity for firms with expertise in public sector contracts.

## Notice

The SPS has a number of facilities containing buildings and equipment which are required to be inspected, serviced and maintained. This work is carried out by the Estates and Technical services Directorate managed by SPS HQ. There are currently 13 public prisons in Scotland, an Edinburgh based Headquarters, an SPS College, and a Central Store facility. This framework shall provide SPS with the capability to employ suitably qualified and experienced temporary staff, covering a range of skill sets required in maintenance services. These staff shall have the relevant disclosure/security clearances (e.g. Basic Disclosure Scotland as standard, however Enhanced Disclosure Scotland will be required more frequently). The supplier shall be able to provide temporary staff to the SPS sites across Scotland and the level of service shall be consistent.
