## Summary

The procurement process for the "HMP Barlinnie Standby Generator C/D Replacement" is being conducted by the Scottish Prison Service, a national agency based in Edinburgh, UK. The tender, identified as 01653, falls under the works category and is currently in the award stage, following an open procedure. The contract, valued at £80,702, was signed on 24th January 2020. The project involves the replacement of an existing standby generator at HMP Barlinnie, located at 81 Lee Avenue, Riddrie, Glasgow, to ensure the efficient operation of switchboards C, D, and Letham Hall. The original tender opportunity was made available until 29th November 2019, with evaluations subsequently conducted for tender submissions.

This opportunity offers significant potential for businesses specialising in generator installation and maintenance, electrical infrastructure improvements, and related works. Companies with experience in public sector contracts, particularly those with capabilities in supplying and installing large-scale energy solutions, could be particularly well-suited to compete. Given that three bidders submitted proposals, this project reflects a healthy level of interest and competition, indicating a conducive environment for businesses looking to grow through government contracts.
