## Summary

The Scottish Prison Service (SPS), a national agency dedicated to public order and safety, has completed the procurement process for the provision of mattresses and pillows to meet its ongoing requirements across 16 operational establishments in Scotland. This procurement was conducted using an open procedure, with the tender titled "SPS-02214 Provision of Mattresses and Pillows" classified under the goods category, specifically CPV classification 39143112 for mattresses. The contract was awarded on 25th June 2025, marking the conclusion of the tender stage after an initial planning stage and subsequent tender announcement earlier in the year. Carpenter Ltd won the contract for both lots, valued at £2,231,651.80 for mattresses and £319,833.50 for pillows, ensuring supply to approximately 7,500 prisoners across Scotland.

This contract represents significant business growth opportunities, particularly for companies specialising in soft furnishings, bedding, or related goods. Businesses capable of delivering quality at competitive prices would be well-suited to participate in future similar tenders issued by SPS, as this procurement emphasised a weighted criterion of 30% for quality and 70% for price. Large-scale suppliers, such as Carpenter Ltd, have demonstrated success in the open procedure employed by the SPS, indicating potential avenues for businesses to expand their operations in the public sector, especially those targeting national or regional government contracts within the UK.
