This procurement is categorised under the public order and safety industry and takes place in Edinburgh, UK. The process is currently at the award stage, having been signed on 25th October 2016, and engages a limited procurement method, meaning it was awarded without prior publication of a call for competition due to a perceived lack of market competition. This contract presents significant opportunities for businesses involved in security and locking systems, particularly those that can provide maintenance services for electric and traditional locks. Given the current market landscape, where the ASSA ABLOY Group holds a monopoly in providing Chubb locks, businesses with innovative locking solutions or those capable of expanding their service offerings may find this an advantageous time to enter negotiations or partnerships with the Scottish Prison Service for future opportunities. ## Notice The SPS has an ongoing requirement for the manufacture, delivery and maintenance of locks (and ancillaries) for use in the incumbent locking systems in its Establishments. This will incorporate the procurement of electric locks, class 1 class, 2 pass and unclassified locks, training and maintenance as well as the supply of lock spare parts and equipment for the maintenance of existing fitted locks together with the supply of replacement keys. This is to enable the replacement and maintenance of the incumbent locks utilised across the SPS estate. ### Lot Information Lot 1 The SPS has an ongoing requirement for the manufacture, delivery and maintenance of locks (and ancillaries) for use in the incumbent locking systems in its Establishments. This will incorporate the procurement of electric locks, class 1 class, 2 pass and unclassified locks, training and maintenance as well as the supply of lock spare parts and equipment for the maintenance of existing fitted locks together with the supply of replacement keys. This is to enable the replacement and maintenance of the incumbent locks utilised across the SPS estate.. This only applies to incumbent locks within the SPS estates. ### Procurement Information The existing SPS prison estate is manually and electronically locked with Chubb locks, the maintenance and replacement services contract for these existing locks is currently with Chubb Locks Custodial Services Ltd ('CLCS'). Since 2013, there has been a significant change in the marketplace for custodial locking. For some time, independent supplier Pickersgill-Kaye, who were the main rival to Chubb Locks Custodial Services, had begun to make inroads into the market. However, in October 2015 ASSA ABLOY Group announced it had completed the purchase of Pickersgill-Kaye as well as several smaller franchises using the Chubb Locking brand. This now leaves the market in a monopoly position with ASSA ABLOY Group as the sole supplier for Chubb locks for the UK. As evidence of this lack of competition, SPS has had a Future Contract Notice out on PCS since 24/03/2016 (http://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/authority/Notice_unPubView.aspx?ID=438511) which hasn't yielded any viable notes of interest from the market. SPS intends to award this contract to ASSA Abloy Ltd (trading as Chubb Locks Custodial Services) until 2026 due to lack of any available competition in the market. It should be highlighted that the requirement of this contract is purely to maintain and replace incumbent locks. Should the SPS have a requirement for locks as part of any further estate development programme, it shall be dealt with as part of that Works project. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Public Contracts Scotland | | Latest notice | https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=NOV263834 | | Notice type | OJEU - F3 - Contract Award Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Goods | | Procurement method | Limited | | Procurement method details | Award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 14 Nov 2016 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 25 Oct 2016 | | Contract period | Not specified | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Complete | | Lots status | Complete | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Active | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | SCOTTISH PRISON SERVICE | | Locality | EDINBURGH | | Post town | Edinburgh | | Postcode | EH12 9HW | | Country | Scotland | | ITL 1 | TLM Scotland | | ITL 2 | TLM1 East Central Scotland | | ITL 3 | TLM13 City of Edinburgh | | Local authority | City of Edinburgh | | Electoral ward | Drum Brae/Gyle | | Westminster constituency | Edinburgh West | | Delivery location | TLM Scotland | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 44 - Construction structures and materials; auxiliary products to construction (except electric apparatus) ### Codes - 44521100 - Locks ## Release History - 14 Nov 2016 at 00:00 - Award - OJEU - F3 - Contract Award Notice - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=NOV263834 ## Documents - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=NOV263834 00930 - Custodial Locking Services for the Scottish Prison Service - The SPS has an ongoing requirement for the manufacture, delivery and maintenance of locks (and ancillaries) for use in the incumbent locking systems in its Establishments.
