## Summary

The National Records of Scotland, located in Edinburgh, has completed the procurement process for the project titled "Wide Format Scanners." This procurement falls under the general public services industry category, specifically involving goods. The primary locations for delivery are Thomas Thomson House and New Register House in the UKM75 region. The procurement began with a tender using an open procedure and has now reached the award stage, with the contract being signed on 16th January 2026. The buyer sought to acquire imaging equipment essential for statutory services, conservation projects, and future digitisation opportunities with a contract value of £185,000.09.

This tender offers significant opportunities for companies in the technology and imaging equipment supply sectors. Businesses equipped to provide high-quality scanning solutions and those with capabilities in supporting public services and digitisation projects would find this contract beneficial. Given the tender's focus on maintaining service quality and aiding strategic objectives, companies with experience in large-scale equipment supply and installation, including those familiar with the needs of national or federal agencies, would be well-suited to compete. As SCC Document Services was awarded the contract, there may be scope for subcontracting opportunities, as indicated by their current involvement.
