## Summary

The Scottish Prison Service has awarded a contract for "Next Day Courier Services" effective from 1st January 2017. This procurement, classified under services and particularly focusing on public order and safety, was conducted as a limited procedure without prior publication of a call for competition, in accordance with EU Directive 2014/24/EU. The contract pertains specifically to the delivery of services across the SPS estate, with all relevant operations based in the Edinburgh region.

This awarded contract presents a significant opportunity for businesses that specialise in courier services, particularly those operating under social enterprise models aimed at integrating disabled or disadvantaged groups into the workforce. There is a potential for growth in collaborations with the Scottish Prison Service, which values socially responsible practices and may be receptive to future tenders that support community-oriented businesses. Companies that prioritise social impact and have the capacity to meet the specific requirements of secure delivery services would be well-positioned to compete in future opportunities arising from similar contracts.

### Procurement Information

Awarded under EU Directive 2014/24/EU regarding public procurement, recital 36 as a reserved contract with a supported business: "Employment and occupation contribute to integration in society and are key elements in guaranteeing equal opportunities for all. In this context, sheltered workshops can play a significant role. The same is true for other social businesses whose main aim is to support the social and professional integration or reintegration of disabled and disadvantaged persons, such as the unemployed, members of disadvantaged minorities or otherwise socially marginalised groups. However, such workshops or businesses might not be able to obtain contracts under normal conditions of competition. Consequently, it is appropriate to provide that Member States should be able to reserve the right to participate in award procedures for public contracts or for certain lots thereof to such workshops or businesses or reserve performance of contracts to the context of sheltered employment programmes."
