## Summary

The Scottish Prison Service is currently in the procurement stage of contracting for the design and construction of a Community Custody Unit located in Hilltown, Dundee. This project, titled "10624B - Design and Build of Community Custody Unit in Dundee (Hilltown)", falls under the category of public order and safety and is classified as a works contract. The submission period for tenders is open until 10 December 2018, and the procurement method employed is a selective procedure, indicating a restricted approach to inviting bids. Additionally, the contract has a considerable value of approximately £7,822,826, reflecting the scope and importance of the initiative aimed at developing facilities to support female offenders.

This tender presents significant opportunities for construction firms and companies specialising in similar facilities, particularly those with experience in gender-sensitive infrastructures. Businesses involved in architecture, project management, and construction engineering would find this project aligned with their capacities. The Scottish Prison Service encourages contractors to consider community benefits such as employment opportunities for apprenticeships and engagement with local enterprises, thereby enhancing the socio-economic impact of the project. Firms with a proven track record of delivering complex builds within stringent budgetary and health & safety requirements will be well-positioned to compete effectively in this tender process.

## Notice

The Cabinet Secretary for Justice announced in June 2015 that Scotland was adopting a new approach to the support of female offenders in custody, including the need to create an environment that encourages and assists with their transformational change, utilising facilities designed and built to take account of gender and potential trauma. The strategy seeks to deliver a new Women's National Facility at the site of HMP Cornton Vale, Stirling, together with the provision of five Community Custody Units (CCUs) at various locations across Scotland. In July 2017, the Cabinet Secretary for Justice announced that the first two CCUs would be in 1. Glasgow and 2. Fife/Dundee areas (subsequently confirmed as Maryhill in Glasgow and Hilltown, Dundee respectively). This contract notice is for the CCU at Hilltown, Dundee only.
