This contract is designated under the award stage and relates to the procurement of services, specifically within the auction services category. The procurement process involved conducting a tender, and the contract was signed on 2nd February 2026. The procurement period is set to run from 2nd September 2026 to 2nd August 2028, with the possibility of extending the contract by two additional 12-month periods, potentially lasting until 8th February 2030. The procurement is specifically relevant to organisations adhering to the Scottish Public Finance Manual and the NHS Scotland Property Transactions Handbook, ensuring compliance with financial and property management standards. This tender presents notable opportunities for businesses operating in the property, real estate, and auction service sectors, especially those familiar with the regulatory frameworks of the Scottish public sector. As property auctions can be critical for disposing of surplus properties efficiently, businesses specialising in electronic and traditional auction services may find the opportunity lucrative. Suppliers with expertise in marketing and sale of properties through auction platforms could leverage this contract to expand their service offerings, tap into public sector projects, and build a strong portfolio within the government sector. ## Notice The Scottish Government has a requirement to place a contract with an external supplier for the provision of property auction services. The Scottish Government regularly reviews the property assets held within the various parts of the organisation and arrangements are made to dispose of surplus properties. This most frequently involves the appointment of an agent to undertake marketing of the property. However, there are occasions when this approach is either inappropriate or simply unsuccessful.In these cases, an alternative method of seeking to dispose of property is required, and auctions offer a method of offering the property for sale openly and securing a buyer, which meets the requirements of the Scottish Public Finance Manual and the NHS Scotland Property Transactions Handbook.It is intended that the Contract will be used by organisations to which the Scottish Public Finance Manual (SPFM) and the NHS Scotland Property Transactions Handbook (PTHB) are directly applicable. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Public Contracts Scotland | | Latest notice | https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=FEB549125 | | Notice type | PCS Notice - Quick Quote Award | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Not specified | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 9 Feb 2026 | | Submission deadline | 2 Aug 2028 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 2 Feb 2026 | | Contract period | Not specified | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | £40,000 | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Not specified | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Active | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | SCOTTISH GOVERNMENT | | Additional buyers | ARGYLL AND BUTE COUNCIL; FIFE COUNCIL; REGISTERS OF SCOTLAND; SCOTTISH BORDERS COUNCIL; SCOTTISH ENVIRONMENT PROTECTION AGENCY; SCOTTISH GOVERNMENT- SASA | | Locality | LOCHGILPHEAD | | Post town | Paisley | | Postcode | PA31 8RT | | Country | Scotland | | ITL 1 | TLM Scotland | | ITL 2 | TLM3 West Central Scotland | | ITL 3 | TLM34 North Lanarkshire | | Local authority | North Lanarkshire | | Electoral ward | Mossend and Holytown | | Westminster constituency | Airdrie and Shotts | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 14 | | Supplier names | BORDERS INDEPENDENT ADVOCACY SERVICES; BRYSON TRACTORS; EUROPEAN INSTRUMENTS; IPSOS MORI; LORIEN RESOURCING; MP GROUP; PEPLEROPTICS; SCIENTIFIC LABORATORY SUPPLIES; SHEPHERD CHARTERED SURVEYORS; THELMA BIOTEL; THIS IS GAIN; TRUEFORM; UNIVERSITY COURT OF THE UNIVERSITY OF GLASGOW; UNIVERSITY OF STRATHCLYDE | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 79 - Business services: law, marketing, consulting, recruitment, printing and security ### Codes - 79342400 - Auction services - 79342410 - Electronic auction services ## Release History - 9 Feb 2026 at 12:30 - Award - PCS Notice - Quick Quote Award - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=FEB549125 ## Notice URLs - http://www.argyll-bute.gov.uk - http://www.fife.gov.uk - http://www.ros.gov.uk - http://www.scotborders.gov.uk - http://www.scotland.gov.uk - http://www.sepa.org.uk ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
