This project, classified under public order and safety within the goods category, aims to provide integrated software technology that can be utilised across three locations, including a new Women's National Facility in Stirling and two community custody units in Dundee and Glasgow. The announcement was made on 30th May 2019, with a future notice date set for 26th June 2020, which signals the progression towards a formal tendering process. This tender offers significant opportunities for technology firms specialising in software development and application integration. Businesses capable of providing innovative solutions that enhance user interaction through application-based technology will be ideally suited to compete. Additionally, suppliers who can future-proof their offerings to accommodate potential expansions into other community custody units or sites within the Scottish Prison Service estate stand to benefit from this emerging opportunity. ## Notice The purpose of this Prior Information Notice is to gauge market interest of a future opportunity to provide the Scottish Prison Service with integrated software that users can interact with through application based technology. ### Lot Information Lot 1 The SPS is looking for a supplier of software before late 2020 that would provide a range of integrated services to 150 devices over three separate locations. Initially these locations will be a new Women's National Facility (near Bridge of Allan, Stirling) and 2 community custody units located in Dundee and Glasgow. This system would be required to broadcast to the three facilities across a shared network allowing users to interact through app based technology within Smart televisions. The services that would be included as a minimum in the technology would be:- - Inclusion of a menu selection module that would allow users to select menus and be provided with nutritional information along with visual images. - Publication of information services including notices that would broadcast establishment events, notices and any other information required. - Separate user interaction for both staff and end user to allow staff to populate notices, amend educational information and provision of account maintenance. - Controlling the information broadcast to all sites from one remote location but also the ability to feed information locally from the individual units. Going forward the SPS may look to utilize the software in additional community custody units and potentially open it up to other sites within the SPS estate so evidence of being able to future-proof the software would be beneficial.. This is a Prior Information Notice only. No tender documentation is available at this time. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Public Contracts Scotland | | Latest notice | https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=MAY355512 | | Notice type | PCS Notice - Website Prior Information Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Goods | | 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 | 30 May 2019 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | 26 Jun 2020 | | 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 | TLM Scotland | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 48 - Software package and information systems ### Codes - 48000000 - Software package and information systems - 48100000 - Industry specific software package ## Release History - 30 May 2019 at 00:00 - Planning - PCS Notice - Website Prior Information Notice - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=MAY355512 ## Documents - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=MAY355512 Supply of digital application based software - Scottish Prison Service - The purpose of this Prior Information Notice is to gauge market interest of a future opportunity to provide the Scottish Prison Service with integrated software that users can interact with through application based technology. ## Notice URLs - http:// - http://www.sps.gov.uk - https://api.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/v1/Notice?id=ocds-r6ebe6-0000585396 - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/Search/Search_Switch.aspx?ID=585396 ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
