## Summary

The Scottish Prison Service is undertaking a tender for the 'Maintenance of Combined Heat and Power Units at HMP Low Moss', located in Glasgow, under the services industry category. This procurement process is currently in the Award stage, with the contract signed on 28th February 2017. The procurement method used is limited, done without prior publication of a call for competition, and primarily involves Ener-G Combined Power Limited, who has maintained the units since installation in 2011. This award, which entails a comprehensive service for the maintenance of the CHP units, underscores the necessity for ongoing support at the facility.

This contract presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in maintenance services, particularly those with expertise in combined heating and power systems. Companies that possess the necessary qualifications to undertake complex maintenance tasks, including bespoke software support and access to proprietary parts, would be well-suited to compete in any future tenders. Moreover, businesses capable of providing 24/7 support, planned preventative maintenance, and reactive repairs will be particularly attractive to procurement authorities looking to ensure operational efficiency and reliability in public utility services.

## Notice

The SPS has an ongoing service requirement for the maintenance of 3 existing Combined Heating and Power (CHP) units at HMP Low Moss. This contract is a fully comprehensive service that will provide Planned Preventative Maintenance (PPM), reactive repairs and a 24/7 Remote Support and Monitoring Service.

### Lot Information

Lot 1

SPS has awarded a 10 year contract to Ener-G Combined Power Limited to continue the support and maintenance of the three existing Combined Heat and Power Units at HMP Low Moss.

### Procurement Information

Ener-G Combined Power Limited designed, manufactured and installed all three CHP units at HMP Low Moss. They have also carried out all maintenance since installation in 2011. The design of the CHP units is bespoke to Ener-G Combined Power Limited and the software that is integral to remote monitoring and fault diagnosis was developed by and is proprietary to Ener-G Combined Power Limited. Due to the ownership of the Intellectual Property Rights of the software, it is understood that there are no organisations licenced or authorised by Ener-G Combined Power Limited to access and operate the software. The CHP units also contain a number of parts that have been modified by Ener-G and are not Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) parts. This means that such items are not generally and readily available in the market. As evidence of the lack of competition, following a previous OJEU open tender exercise only one tender submission was received by the SPS, from Ener-G Combined Power Limited.
