Sets up a framework (suppliers apply to join)

In plain English

The Scottish Prison Service is looking for a supplier to provide temporary maintenance staff to cover buildings and equipment inspections, servicing, and repairs across 14 prisons and other facilities in Scotland. Staff must be qualified, experienced, and hold appropriate security clearances.

What the buyer wants

• Supply temporary maintenance workers with relevant qualifications and experience across various maintenance skill sets • Ensure all staff hold required security clearances (minimum Level 1 Disclosure Scotland) • Provide consistent service across multiple SPS sites throughout Scotland

Likely requirements

Our reading of the notice. Always check the tender documents.

Most small sole traders or small maintenance firms will be disqualified because you must be a recruitment/staffing agency or large employer able to supply multiple temporary workers consistently across Scotland and hold current security-cleared personnel on your books.

How to bid

This is a framework: the buyer picks a set of suppliers now and awards work to them over several years. If you are not on it when it is awarded, you usually cannot win work from it until it is re-tendered, so this is the window to bid.
