## Summary

The Highlands and Islands Airports Limited is initiating a tender process for the "Advanced Walk-through Metal Detectors" project, aimed at providing a sole supplier for the supply, installation, commissioning, and maintenance of advanced walk-through metal detectors across multiple airports in Scotland, including Benbecula, Dundee, Inverness, Islay, Kirkwall, Sumburgh, and Wick. The procurement is currently in the award stage, with a total contract value of £250,752. Key dates to note are the signing of the contract on 24 March 2021, following a tender submission deadline that concluded on 1 February 2021. The procurement method employed for this process was an open procedure under the goods category.

This tender presents significant business opportunities for companies specialising in airport security equipment and services, particularly those with capabilities in installation and ongoing maintenance support. Suppliers with expertise in advanced security technology, particularly large-scale operations familiar with the specific needs of airport environments, would be well-suited to compete. Furthermore, this contract could lead to potential growth through additional opportunities to provide up to three further metal detectors and possibly extend the contract over a ten-year horizon, enhancing relations with Highlands and Islands Airports Limited.
