## Summary

The Scottish Prison Service has recently awarded a contract to Grahams The Family Dairy Ltd for the supply of milk and dairy products. The contract extension period is from 17 Nov 2022 to 31 May 2024. The procurement process involved the extension of a current contract due to volatile market conditions and scarcity of fresh milk suppliers in Scotland. The procurement method used was an Award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition.

This contracting opportunity presents business growth prospects for suppliers of fresh milk, cheese, yogurt, butter, cream, and related dairy products. Businesses in the dairy industry catering to SPS sites across Scotland are well-suited to compete in this procurement process. The Scottish Prison Service, acting as the buying organisation, aims to secure quality goods from suppliers through a limited procurement process to meet their ongoing dairy product needs.
