## Summary

The Scottish Prison Service is currently engaged in the procurement process for the "Provision of a Kiosk Solution Proof of Concept at HMP Shotts". This initiative falls under the services category and is situated in Edinburgh, UK. The procurement method employed is a limited direct award procedure without prior publication, necessitating swift continuity of service due to a reliance on the Kiosk system. The award was signed on 17th February 2022, with a contract value of £160,000, and involves the ongoing maintenance of this vital service for a period of one year, with the possibility of a one-year extension.

This tender presents an excellent opportunity for businesses specialising in technology and service provision for correctional facilities, particularly those capable of maintaining and supporting kiosk systems. Companies with experience in public contractual services and those familiar with the procurement processes of government entities like the Scottish Prison Service will find this tender particularly suited to their capabilities. Engaging in such tenders can facilitate business growth through sustained partnerships with public sector organisations.

## Notice

The SPS is currently piloting a KIOSK Service at HMP Shotts as a result of a Proof of Concept. SPS requires the on-going provision of this service and associated maintenance.

### Lot Information

Lot 1

SPS intends to make a direct award to Unilink Software Limited for the on-going service and maintenance of the KIOSK system at HMP Shotts for a period of 1 year (plus up to an additional 1 year extension option) while the national self-service system procurement activity is undertaken.

### Procurement Information

Continuity of service is required at HMP Shotts due to their reliance on the Kiosk service while the national Kiosk contract tender process is being undertaken. This is primarily due to the operational risk associated with removing the Kiosk service and as a result of both users and SPS staff being heavily reliant on the Kiosk service (including the time saving it has achieved by moving away from manual, paper based processes).
