This procurement falls under the services category and was conducted as an open procedure. The award, valued at £47,300, was officially signed on 28th September 2020. Located in Edinburgh, UK, the buyer has engaged Avison Young as the supplier following their direct selection through the Crown Commercial Services framework RM3816 for Estates Professional Services (Lot 1). This contract presents significant opportunities for businesses that specialise in economic appraisal and consultancy services, particularly those with experience in public sector projects. Companies aiming to expand in the public procurement sector, especially larger firms with expertise in office estate strategies and economic evaluations, would be well-suited to compete for similar contracts in the future, leveraging their capabilities to meet the strategic needs of public organisations like the Scottish Prison Service. ## Notice The Scottish Prison Service (SPS) is seeking technical support to assist in conducting a third economic appraisal to identify and evaluate potential options for their future headquarters office. The first option appraisal was carried out in 2016/17 and is no longer current. The second options appraisal prepared in March 2019 identified preferred options which the SPS was ultimately unable to secure. The SPS has worked with the Smarter Workplaces Programme (SWP) established by Scottish Government and Scottish Futures Trust. This programme has been set up to deliver a more strategic approach to the office estate of the Scottish Government and its associated public bodies. This programme, alongside the aforementioned option appraisals and work subsequently conducted in response to the Covid-19 pandemic, has informed a revised HQ requirement which now requires economic evaluation in relation to the most recent property options available in the market. ### Lot Information Lot 1 A direct award was made to Avison Young (UK) Limited under the auspices of Crown Commercial Services framework RM3816 - Estates Professional Services (Lot 1). ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Public Contracts Scotland | | Latest notice | https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=DEC403338 | | Notice type | PCS Notice - Website Contract Award Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Large | | All stages | Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 29 Dec 2020 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 28 Sep 2020 | | Contract period | Not specified | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | £47,300 | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Complete | | Lots status | Complete | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Active | ## 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 | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 1 | | Supplier names | AVISON YOUNG | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 70 - Real estate services ### Codes - 70332200 - Commercial property management services ## Release History - 29 Dec 2020 at 00:00 - Award - PCS Notice - Website Contract Award Notice - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=DEC403338 ## Documents - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=DEC403338 01843 Headquarters Options Appraisal 2020/21 for the Scottish Prison Service - The Scottish Prison Service (SPS) is seeking technical support to assist in conducting a third economic appraisal to identify and evaluate potential options for their future headquarters office.
