## Summary

The Scottish Prison Service bought wired, slimline USB keyboards for use with its in-cell devices. The keyboards had to be compatible with the devices already used in Scottish prisons. This is a goods supply requirement rather than an installation, software or general IT support service. Delivery covered Scotland. The buyer is the Scottish Prison Service, a national public-sector agency responsible for the prison service. The requirement was classified under CPV 30237460, covering computer-related equipment and accessories. It was arranged as a single requirement through the Government Commercial Agency framework for Technology Products and Associated Services 2, indicating a need for a specialist technology-products supplier able to provide a defined peripheral at scale and meet the buyer’s compatibility requirements.

This procurement has been awarded and the contract is active. Getech Ltd was selected as supplier for the single requirement. The contract value is £119,560 including the stated currency of GBP, and it was signed on 6 August 2026. The Scottish Prison Service used a limited procedure without prior publication of a call for competition, conducting a further competition through the Government Commercial Agency framework for Technology Products and Associated Services 2. An invitation to quote was issued to framework suppliers and responses were evaluated using the invitation-to-quote guide to scoring. Three bids were received, including two from small and medium-sized enterprises; all three were submitted electronically. The procurement was covered by the Government Procurement Agreement.

This opportunity demonstrates recurring public-sector demand for straightforward, compatible IT peripherals used in secure custodial environments. A credible future supplier would need to source or manufacture wired slimline USB keyboards, demonstrate reliable compatibility with existing in-cell devices, and manage consistent supply, packaging and delivery across Scottish prison locations. Experience supplying public bodies or other controlled environments would help, particularly where product specifications, security considerations and operational continuity matter. Suppliers should also be capable of competing through a relevant technology-products framework and responding clearly to an invitation to quote. The competition attracted three bidders, two of them SMEs, showing that the requirement can be addressed by smaller technology distributors or specialist peripheral suppliers as well as larger businesses.
