## Summary

The Scottish Prison Service commissioned independent advisory services to assess options for ready-to-use and modular prison accommodation. The work covers feasibility and options advice on whether, and how, these forms of accommodation could meet the Service’s requirements. It is a professional construction advisory service, classified under CPV 71241000 for feasibility study, advisory service and analysis. Delivery is in Edinburgh, for the Scottish Prison Service. The requirement relates specifically to prison accommodation rather than general building, facilities management or standard consultancy work, so it is most relevant to firms with experience advising public-sector or custodial clients on accommodation options, construction feasibility and the practical use of modular or ready-to-use facilities.

This procurement is complete and has been awarded through a limited procedure without prior publication of a competition notice. The Scottish Prison Service used a direct call-off under the Crown Commercial Service RM6165 Framework for Construction Professional Services. One electronic bid was recorded. Mace Consulting Limited was selected for the single lot, and the contract was signed on 8 June 2026. The contract value is £24,360, including the published currency of GBP. The award was made under the framework’s direct-award route for this type of feasibility and advisory requirement. The process was covered by the Government Procurement Agreement. The contract is recorded as active; its operational period is not stated in the published outcome.

For a supplier that did not win, this award demonstrates a defined Scottish Prison Service demand for independent advice on ready-to-use and modular custodial accommodation. A credible competitor would need to combine construction professional services with evidence-led options appraisal, feasibility assessment and advisory work, rather than offer design or construction delivery alone. Relevant capability includes understanding the operational constraints of prisons, comparing accommodation solutions, assessing practicality and value for money, and presenting clear advice to a public authority. Firms able to work through an established public-sector construction professional services framework, and to deliver concise, independent recommendations for senior decision-makers, would be well placed for a future requirement of the same kind.
