## Summary

The Scottish Prison Service (SPS) is conducting a public procurement process to award a multi-supplier framework for the supply of various timber products, specifically softwood timber, for use in the production of goods within workshops at various prisons in Scotland. The procurement is categorised under the "goods" industry, with the primary classification being "Timber". The process has moved through several stages, with the most recent award completed on 2nd September 2024. Key locations for delivery include HMP Barlinnie, HMP Glenochil, HMP Low Moss, HMP Perth, and HMP Shotts, with potential for additional sites. The procurement method used is an open procedure, and the framework supports the overall management and coordination of production workshops for the rehabilitation and training of prisoners.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in timber and related products. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with expertise in producing and supplying timber goods will find this framework particularly beneficial. The awarded suppliers, such as HUWS GRAY T/A PDM, James Donaldson Timber Limited, and National Timber Group Scotland Ltd T/A Rembrand Timber & Thornbridge Sawmills, exemplify the type of businesses well-suited to such contracts. The framework’s duration, with options for extension, offers stable and recurring opportunities for growth in a steady government-led rehabilitation programme.
