## Summary

The Scottish Prison Service (SPS) initiated a procurement process titled "SPS-01885 Janitorial Supplies for SPS," aimed at identifying suppliers for a range of janitorial supplies, including cleaning, chemical, and paper products for various SPS sites across Scotland. Although this tender had progressed through stages of planning in September 2022 and tendering by October 2022, the subsequent contract notice dated as recent as August 2025 indicates a cancellation in the award stage. The procurement utilised a selective method under the restricted procedure, governed by CELEX legal basis 32014L0024, and the process was covered by the Government Procurement Agreement (GPA). The contract was structured into two lots, originally anticipated to have a contract duration of 1080 days, with no renewals. Direct electronic submission through the Public Contract Scotland portal was mandated, and key selection criteria included technical and financial capabilities. Despite the structured planning, the procurement was marked as "cancelled" with unsuccessful awards, hence not resulting in an eventual contract.

This tender represented significant business growth opportunities, especially for suppliers in the cleaning products industry capable of delivering across multiple sites in Scotland. Businesses specialising in janitorial hardware, chemical, and paper products, with a strong capacity for logistical operations and multi-site contract management, would have been particularly well-suited to compete. The opportunity followed a restricted procedure, aiming to ensure only suitably qualified suppliers advanced to the final stages, with potential high-value contracts spread over nearly three years. Despite its cancellation, similar forthcoming tenders from the SPS may offer valuable entry points into public sector procurement, presenting repeated opportunities for businesses to establish or reinforce their presence in the market.
