## Summary

The Scottish Prison Service has completed the process to procure the supply of fresh milk, butter, cream, cheese, and yoghurts against an agreed week-day delivery cycle to all SPS sites in Scotland. This opportunity was awarded to Grahams The Family Dairy Ltd through a limited procurement method without prior publication of a call for competition. The contract, valued at GBP 1,600,000, was signed on 21st October 2022, extending from 17th November 2022 to 31st May 2024. The location of the contract is in Edinburgh, UK, and falls under the industry category of public order and safety.

This tender presents an opportunity for businesses dealing in dairy products to compete and potentially grow their operations. Suppliers need to be aware of the prevailing market conditions, as identified reasons for limited bids included volatile market conditions and the lack of fresh milk availability in Scotland and the UK. The Scottish Prison Service, acting as the buyer, aimed to secure a reliable supplier through this procurement process to meet their dairy product demands. Businesses suited for this opportunity should have the capacity to supply a range of dairy items to multiple sites in Scotland on a set delivery schedule.

## Notice

### Lot Information

Lot 1

Supply of fresh milk and processed dairy products (cheese, yoghurt, butter and cream) to SPS sites across Scotland against an agreed week-day delivery cycle.

### Procurement Information

SPS had tendered this requirement in the latter part of 2021 and received no viable bids beyond the incumbent supplier. Volatile market conditions and lack of availability of fresh milk in Scotland and the UK have subsequently led to potential suppliers not seeking new business.
