## Summary

The Scottish Prison Service (SPS) is currently conducting a tender for "The Provision of Temporary Maintenance Staff," aimed at enhancing maintenance capabilities across its facilities, including 13 public prisons in Scotland. The procurement is classified under the services category and employs an open procedure, encouraging competitive responses. The invitation to tender is now active, with submissions due by 2 August 2021. Successful bidders will be expected to provide qualified temporary staff across various SPS sites who possess necessary security clearances.

This tender presents significant opportunities for SMEs in the recruitment and maintenance sectors, particularly those experienced in providing temporary staffing solutions. Companies that can showcase relevant qualifications and a track record of compliance with security clearance requirements will be best positioned to succeed. The framework agreement could potentially involve up to three suppliers, enabling interested businesses to engage in long-term partnerships and contribute to critical maintenance services within the public sector.

## Notice

The supplier shall be able to provide temporary staff to the SPS sites across Scotland and the level of service shall be consistent.
