The tender falls under the "Public order and safety" category, with works scheduled in Central/East and Central/West of Scotland, Inverness, and Aberdeen. This open procedure began with a planned notice in December 2024, moved to the tender stage in May 2025, and culminated in the award phase by February 2026. Key contracts were signed with Bell Group Limited around these dates, with the final contract agreement reached on 4th February 2026. The procurement is managed by the Scottish Prison Service, headquartered in Edinburgh, under the legal framework of the GPA. This procurement presents substantial opportunities for businesses involved in construction and maintenance, particularly those specialising in painting and decoration services. With an open procurement method, it invites competitive proposals from capable firms that can handle large-scale projects across multiple locations. This opportunity is ideal for companies ready to expand their portfolio with government contracts, offering diverse chances to engage with public sector projects. However, it particularly suits large-scale contractors with the capacity to deliver under strict timelines and manage regional deployments efficiently. The contracts promise strategic growth and access to further future endeavours in public sector collaborations. ## Notice This project is for paintworks and decoration (including reactive and remedial works) for all Scottish Prison Service (SPS) sites. ### Lot Information SPS-02252 Paintworks and Decoration for the SPS Lot 1: HMP Edinburgh; SPS Headquarters; HMP&YOI Polmont; SPS College; HMP Stirling; HMP Glenochil; HMP Perth; and HMP Open Estate - Castle Huntly Renewal: any period up to 24 months.
