This tender falls within the goods category of the public order and safety industry. The procurement is currently in the planning stage, with a future notice date set for 20th March 2020. The scope of this tender involves providing four sizes of tamper-proof evidence bags, each requiring specific features such as printed labels and unique reference numbering. Interested bidders should prepare to respond to a forthcoming Contract Notice and Invitation to Tender. This tender presents a promising opportunity for businesses specialising in packaging, security materials, and evidence management solutions. Companies capable of manufacturing various sizes of tamper-proof bags with unique identification features would be particularly well-suited to compete. With the Scottish Prison Service looking for a competent supplier to fulfil their requirements, this is an excellent chance for businesses to engage in a significant governmental contract and expand their operations within the public sector. ## Notice Following the expiry of the previous contract, SPS requires a competent supplier to provide 4 different sizes of tamper-proof evidence bags, of approximate sizes: Small - 125mm x 230mm x 60Mu; Medium - 175mm x 330mm x 60Mu; Large - 225mm x 330mm x 60Mu; and Extra Large - 315mm x 470mm x 60Mu.
