What is being bought

Published requirement description

The SPS has a number of facilities containing buildings and equipment which are required to be inspected, serviced and maintained. This work is carried out by the Estates and Technical services Directorate managed by SPS HQ.

There are currently 13 public prisons in Scotland, an Edinburgh based Headquarters, an SPS College, and a Central Store facility.

This framework shall provide SPS with the capability to employ suitably qualified and experienced temporary staff, covering a range of skill sets required in maintenance services. These staff shall have the relevant disclosure/security clearances (e.g. Basic Disclosure Scotland as standard, however Enhanced Disclosure Scotland will be required more frequently). The supplier shall be able to provide temporary staff to the SPS sites across Scotland and the level of service shall be consistent.

CPV: Supply services of personnel including temporary staff

What this means for your bid
  • Price carries 40 of 100 points: a 10% discount moves about 4 points. The method statement decides this lot, not the discount.
  • “01887 The Provision of Temporary Maintenance Staff” is a framework: the contest is a place on its panel, up to 3 suppliers, not a single contract.

Price arithmetic assumes straight proportional scoring; the tender pack may use another formula.
