This project falls under the 'Planned' procurement stage, with a key future notice expected on 1st December 2017. The prison will feature 200 cells and comprehensive facilities, with a planned location near the Inverness Retail and Business Park. The procurement process will follow the Restricted procedure, and contract award is contingent upon obtaining the necessary planning permissions and funding from the Scottish Ministers. This tender presents a significant opportunity for construction firms, particularly those with experience in prison facilities and large-scale building projects. Businesses specialising in design and build contracting, as well as those capable of delivering projects under Level 2 Building Information Modelling (BIM) standards, would be well-suited to compete for this contract. Additionally, companies that can meet community benefits requirements will find this procurement particularly advantageous, aligning with the Scottish Government’s commitment to public engagement and local economic development. ## Notice The Scottish Government has announced its plans to design and construct a new prison to replace the existing prison at Inverness. The new prison will be known as HMP Highland and will serve the courts in the Highlands, Islands and Moray. A site has been identified near the Inverness Retail and Business Park situated off the A96 trunk road and a feasibility design has been agreed and Planning Permission in Principle submitted (reference 17/02529/PIP). The prison is to accommodate 200 cells and shall include the full range of prison buildings including kitchen, laundry, links and education, prisoner regimes and vocational training, recreation facilities, visits, staff and administration. The SPS has commenced this procurement process in good faith and with the intention of awarding a contract; however contract award is subject to planning permission being granted on terms which are acceptable to the SPS and on funding being granted by the Scottish Ministers for the project. ### Lot Information Lot 1 The procurement will follow the Restricted procedure: - Following publication of the Contract Notice, a European Single Procurement Document (ESPD) will be published by SPS and will be made available to bidders. - Following the evaluation of the ESPD, shortlisted bidders will be provided with an Invitation to Tender (ITT). Tender responses will then be evaluated by the SPS. It is envisaged that this will be a two-stage Design and Build contract - although this may be subject to change. SPS is an agency of the Scottish Government and will utilise a Project Bank Account during the project in accordance with SPPN 10/2016. HMP Highland will be required to be delivered as a Level 2 BIM project. The Contract will include Community Benefits requirements. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Public Contracts Scotland | | Latest notice | https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=OCT299119 | | Notice type | OJEU - F1 - Prior Information Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Works | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Not specified | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Planning | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 24 Oct 2017 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | 1 Dec 2017 | | Award date | Not specified | | 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 | Planned | | Lots status | Planned | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## 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 | TLM6 Highlands and Islands | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 45 - Construction work ### Codes - 45216113 - Prison building construction work ## Release History - 24 Oct 2017 at 00:00 - Planning - OJEU - F1 - Prior Information Notice - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=OCT299119 ## Documents - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=OCT299119 10600 The Design and Construction of HMP Highland - The Scottish Government has announced its plans to design and construct a new prison to replace the existing prison at Inverness.
