## Summary

The National Galleries of Scotland has recently awarded a concession contract for the provision of catering services at the Scottish National Portrait Gallery. The contract involves a 12-month extension period, starting from 1st January 2023 to 31st December 2023. The procurement method used was an award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition. The contract modification aims to extend the existing concession contract without altering the services provided or the economic balance of the contract. Due to the impact of the C-19 pandemic, the procurement exercise had to be delayed, prompting the extension. Businesses in the services industry, particularly those experienced in catering services, should monitor this opportunity closely in anticipation of the upcoming fresh procurement exercise.

This procurement process, spearheaded by the National Galleries of Scotland, signifies an opportunity for businesses to engage in a competitive bidding process for providing catering services at the Scottish National Portrait Gallery. The procurement process has evolved through a voluntary ex ante transparency notice, aiming to extend an existing contract while maintaining the overall contractual framework. Businesses interested in service contracts and experienced in delivering catering services should prepare to participate in the forthcoming procurement exercise to vie for this contract extension. The distinct procurement method employed in this process requires potential bidders to be well-versed in award procedures without prior publication of a call for competition, showcasing an opportunity for service-oriented businesses to potentially expand their operations.
