## Summary

The Scottish Prison Service is overseeing the procurement process for the Replacement Perimeter Intruder Detection System (PIDS) at HMP Barlinnie, located in Edinburgh. This project involves replacing the outdated Geoquip PIDS, which has been in operation for over 17 years, with a modern system that integrates with the existing Security Management System and CCTV. The procurement method is an open procedure, and the tender process has now reached the award stage. The contract was awarded on 23rd August 2019, with a total value of £285,000. The primary category for this procurement is works, specifically related to public order and safety.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in security technology and installation, as well as companies involved in integrated systems that enhance surveillance capabilities. Suppliers with experience in large-scale security projects, particularly those familiar with prison or correctional facility requirements, would be well-positioned to compete. The project requires technical expertise in both hardware and software integration, making it suitable for SMEs in the security sector looking to expand their portfolio with public contracts.

## Notice

The existing Geoquip PIDS at HMP Barlinnie is in excess of 17 years old. The current system is in poor condition and is no longer supported with limited spares available. The purpose of this project is to replace the existing PIDS with a new system interfaced with the existing Security Management System (SMS) and interface it into the existing CCTV to provide a secure system. The Establishment fence shall be protected by the new PIDS which shall be linked and integrated to the CCTV system, activating in the event of an alarm.
