The requirement covers polyester fabric for bedding items and cotton fabric for towelling, enabling the manufacture of bedding and towel products for use across the Scottish Prison Service estate. The procurement is for goods, classified under CPV 19200000, Textile fabrics and related items. Delivery is required to Perth, Shotts in Lanarkshire and Kilmarnock. Suppliers should therefore be able to provide the specified fabric types and support deliveries to these three Scottish locations. The buying organisation is the Scottish Prison Service, a national public body responsible for prison services in Scotland. The procurement has reached the tender stage: the Scottish Prison Service invited offers through an open procedure, with electronic submission required. The tender deadline set by the buyer is 25 September 2026 at 14:00 BST. The contract is for 1,080 days, with evaluation scheduled to start at the deadline; bids are to be opened at the same time. Evaluation is weighted 70% to price and 30% to quality. Bids must remain valid for 60 days after the submission deadline. Variant bids are not allowed. The procurement is divided into one lot covering the fabric supply requirement. The contract is not intended to include renewal or additional purchasing options. This opportunity suits textile manufacturers, fabric mills, wholesalers and specialist distributors able to supply both polyester bedding fabric and cotton towelling fabric. Relevant suppliers will need a product range aligned with the Scottish Prison Service’s requirements and the operational ability to deliver to Perth, Shotts in Lanarkshire and Kilmarnock. The work supports established in-house textile production, so suppliers with experience supplying fabrics for bedding, towels or comparable institutional textile manufacturing are likely to be well placed. Businesses should be prepared to demonstrate the quality of their proposed materials and compete principally on price, while meeting the buyer’s delivery requirements across multiple Scottish sites. The requirement is suitable for suppliers with reliable production, stock management and distribution arrangements. ## Notice The Scottish Prison Service (SPS) has a requirement for the provision of fabric, for the in-house manufacturing of bedding and towel items.
