This process commenced with a planned procurement stage noted in February 2024, followed by a tender stage in March 2024, and concluded with an award stage in July 2025, which was ultimately deemed unsuccessful. The procurement was conducted via an open procedure under the industry category of goods, specifically targeting public order and safety. Interested suppliers submitted their tenders electronically by 18th April 2024, and the procurement process was compliant with GPA standards. The tender for packaging materials offers potential growth opportunities for businesses specialising in manufacturing or supplying packaging goods. Companies with robust technical quality, capable of meeting the requirement for diverse packaging options, would have been well-suited to compete, particularly those able to navigate the open procedure and comply with the criteria placing a higher emphasis on quality over price. While this specific procurement concluded unsuccessfully, the nature of recurring requirements suggests that suppliers well-prepared for such demands might benefit from future opportunities with the SPS in similar procurement activities. ## Notice The Scottish Prison Service is seeking a supplier to provide a range of packaging materials to be used within establishments. This shall include: -Sealed bags; Paper bags; -Bubble wrap; -Compactor Sacks. ### Lot Information Lot 1 The SPS has commenced this procurement process in good faith and with the intention of awarding a contract. Following publication of the Contract Notice, an Invitation to Tender (ITT) including the Single Procurement Document (SPD) will be published by SPS and will be made available to bidders. Tender responses will then be evaluated by the SPS in accordance with the ITT. Renewal: A further extension is available for 36 months ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Public Contracts Scotland | | Latest notice | https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=JUL535729 | | Notice type | OJEU - F3 - Contract Award Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Goods | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Planning, Tender, Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 29 Jul 2025 | | Submission deadline | 18 Apr 2024 | | Future notice date | 4 Mar 2024 | | Award date | 29 Jul 2025 | | Contract period | Not specified | | Recurrence | January 2030 | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Unsuccessful | | Lots status | Unsuccessful | | Awards status | Unsuccessful | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | SCOTTISH PRISON SERVICE | | Locality | EDINBURGH | | Post town | Edinburgh | | Postcode | EH12 9DJ | | Country | Scotland | | ITL 1 | TLM Scotland | | ITL 2 | TLM1 East Central Scotland | | ITL 3 | TLM13 City of Edinburgh | | Local authority | City of Edinburgh | | Electoral ward | Drum Brae/Gyle | | Westminster constituency | Edinburgh West | | Delivery location | TLM Scotland | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 18 - Clothing, footwear, luggage articles and accessories ### Codes - 18933000 - Mail or parcel bags ## Release History - 29 Jul 2025 at 00:00 - Award - OJEU - F3 - Contract Award Notice - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=JUL535729 - 15 Mar 2024 at 00:00 - Tender - OJEU - F2 - Contract Notice - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=MAR501031 - 15 Feb 2024 at 00:00 - Planning - OJEU - F1 - Prior Information Notice - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=FEB498832 ## Documents - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=FEB498832 SPS-02125 Packaging Material for SPS - The Scottish Prison Service is seeking a supplier to provide a range of packaging materials to be used within establishments.
