The scope covers deep cleaning of main kitchens and catering equipment, inspection and cleaning of grease-extraction systems, and deep cleaning of servery areas in different parts of each site. The requirement is classified under CPV 90910000, covering cleaning services. The procurement is expected to cover all Scottish Prison Service sites, making this relevant to suppliers able to provide coordinated commercial cleaning and specialist kitchen-cleaning services across a national estate. The work is categorised as services and relates to public-sector food preparation and catering facilities. This procurement is at the planning stage: the Scottish Prison Service has announced its intention to procure, but this record is not an invitation to tender. The planned contract is arranged as one lot and is expected to cover all Scottish Prison Service sites. The buyer’s expected date for the next notice is 1 December 2026; this is an indicative publication date rather than a deadline for responses. The procurement is covered by the World Trade Organization Government Procurement Agreement. The planned contract concerns services delivered across Scotland, including the inspection and cleaning of grease-extraction systems and deep cleaning of kitchens, catering equipment and serveries. The requirement should suit established commercial cleaning contractors with the workforce, equipment and management systems to deliver consistent deep cleaning across multiple secure public-sector sites. Relevant experience is likely to include kitchen and catering-equipment cleaning, grease-extraction system inspection and cleaning, and work in operational facilities where hygiene, access control and safe working practices are important. Suppliers should be prepared to demonstrate £1 million of public liability insurance and £5 million of employers’ liability insurance. Firms that can coordinate teams and service delivery across Scotland, while maintaining reliable standards at every establishment, are likely to be best placed when the requirement reaches the market. ## Notice This is a prior information notice for a forthcoming contract for the Scottish Prison Service (SPS). Services required are deep cleaning of kitchens and serveries within Establishments across Scotland. ### Lot Information Lot 1 The Services include: Deep cleaning of the main kitchens and catering equipment Inspection and cleaning of grease extract systems Deep cleaning of servery areas located in different areas of each site The contract is anticipated to include all SPS sites ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Public Contracts Scotland | | Latest notice | https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=SEP563875 | | Notice type | OJEU - F1 - Prior Information Notice | | 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 | Planning | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 7 Sep 2026 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | 1 Dec 2026 | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | Not specified | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Planned | | Lots status | Planned | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | Scottish Prison Service | | Locality | EDINBURGH | | Postcode area | Edinburgh | | Postcode | EH12 9DJ | | Country | Scotland | | ITL 1 | TLM Scotland | | ITL 2 | TLM1 East Central Scotland | | ITL 3 | TLM13 City of Edinburgh | | Local authority | City of Edinburgh | | Electoral ward | Drum Brae/Gyle | | Westminster constituency | Edinburgh West | | Delivery location | TLM Scotland | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 90 - Sewage, refuse, cleaning and environmental services ### Codes - 90910000 - Cleaning services ## Release History - 7 Sep 2026 at 01:00 - Planning - OJEU - F1 - Prior Information Notice - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=SEP563875 ## Documents - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=SEP563875 SPS-02384 Deep Cleaning of Kitchens and Serveries - This is a prior information notice for a forthcoming contract for the Scottish Prison Service (SPS).
