The procurement process was carried out using a limited procedure without prior publication of a call for competition. The service entails the ongoing provision of the KIOSK system and associated maintenance. The award was made to Unilink Software, with the contract signed on February 15, 2024, for a value of 85,000 GBP. This tender presents business growth opportunities for companies specializing in service provision and maintenance of technological solutions. Businesses offering innovative Kiosk solutions, particularly those experienced in providing services to the public order and safety sector, are well-suited to compete in this procurement process. The Scottish Prison Service's decision to make a direct award to Unilink Software was driven by the need for service continuity at HMP Shotts, emphasizing the operational risk associated with discontinuing the Kiosk service during the national in-cell services contract tender process. ## 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 2 years extension option on a 1+1 basis). ### Procurement Information Continuity of service is required at HMP Shotts due to their reliance on the Kiosk service while the national in-cell services 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). ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Public Contracts Scotland | | Latest notice | https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=MAR500680 | | Notice type | OJEU - F3 - Contract Award Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Limited | | Procurement method details | Award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Large | | All stages | Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 12 Mar 2024 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 15 Feb 2024 | | Contract period | Not specified | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | £85,000 | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Complete | | Lots status | Complete | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Active | ## 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 | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 1 | | Supplier names | UNILINK SOFTWARE | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 30 - Office and computing machinery, equipment and supplies except furniture and software packages - 72 - IT services: consulting, software development, Internet and support ### Codes - 30211300 - Computer platforms - 30231100 - Computer terminals - 72500000 - Computer-related services - 72590000 - Computer-related professional services ## Release History - 12 Mar 2024 at 00:00 - Award - OJEU - F3 - Contract Award Notice - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=MAR500680 - 19 Feb 2024 at 00:00 - Award - OJEU - F15 - Voluntary Ex Ante Transparency Notice - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=FEB498970 ## Documents - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=FEB498970 01866 Provision of a Kiosk Solution Proof of Concept at HMP Shotts - The SPS is currently piloting a KIOSK Service at HMP Shotts as a result of a Proof of Concept.
