## Summary

The Scottish Prison Service has initiated a tender process for the provision of a Self Service System to enhance digital skills within its establishments. The purpose is to appoint a supplier to install and manage a system with various modules for all operational Establishments for a contract term of 5 years, extendable up to 2 years. The tender details, including the title, industry category, and location, can be found on the Public Contracts Scotland website.

This tender presents an opportunity for businesses specializing in digital technology and service provision to compete. Suppliers capable of implementing a Self Service System with user engagement features would be well-suited for this tender. The procurement stage is currently active, with deadlines set for tender submissions by July 29, 2022. Interested businesses can access further details and submission guidelines on the Public Contracts Scotland portal.

## Notice

SPS recognises that the ability of those in custody to develop their digital skills is limited to that of a classroom setting. As a result, the SPS has undertaken an active role in promoting the use of digital technology within its establishments, through the use of virtual visits and mobile phone technology. More recently, the SPS has undertaken a Proof of Concept (Test of Change) for a KIOSK service in one of its operational Establishments. Following the success of the PoC, the SPS is now looking to roll this out to all SPS operational Establishments. One of the Digital Strategy's objectives is to enhance the digital skills of the Purchaser's staff group and move away from various transaction activities that take up a considerable amount of their time. The Purchaser's staff still rely extensively on paper based systems for managing basic day-to-day activities (including menu choice, staff requests, canteen purchases and other regular tasks). Research has identified that adoption of new technology requires active engagement and perceived positive outcomes from the user group(s) in order to accept new ways of working. As a result of the above, the purpose of this tender activity is to appoint a supplier to install and manage a Self Service System to all operational Establishments. The system will include a standalone managed portal with a range of modules (including menu selectrion, PPC balance, staff messaging and notice board). The Contract Term shall be for a period of 5 years, plus up to an additional 2 year extension option.
