Scottish Prison Service, in short
Who does Scottish Prison Service award contracts to?
Across 92 contracts recorded since 2021, Scottish Prison Service has used 78 different suppliers. The most frequent are Maxim Facilities Management Ltd (4 contracts), COMPANY for ELECTRONIC INDUSTRIAL AUTOMATION (CEIA) LIMITED (3 contracts), Bunzl Greenham (2 contracts).
What does Scottish Prison Service buy?
Its most active procurement categories are repair and maintenance, security and defence, furniture and furnishings. Categories are derived from the CPV codes published on each award notice.
When do Scottish Prison Service contracts come up for renewal?
No contracts awarded by Scottish Prison Service currently have a recorded end date within the next 18 months. Not every award notice publishes an end date, so this is a floor rather than a complete picture.
How much does Scottish Prison Service spend on contracts?
The median published contract value is £300k, across the 88 contracts that state a value. Published values are not added up here: a framework's value is a ceiling shared by every supplier on it, and the same value is often repeated across lots, so adding them up would overstate what is spent.
How can I be alerted to new Scottish Prison Service tenders?
Tender Radar monitors Find a Tender, Contracts Finder, Public Contracts Scotland and Sell2Wales each weekday morning and can score every new Scottish Prison Service notice against your organisation's profile, delivering the relevant ones before 9am alongside their contracts approaching renewal.

How these figures are worked out
- The last 12 months: award notices published from 8 November 2025 to 7 November 2026, each contract counted once however many suppliers or rows it has. The same window is used everywhere on this page.
- Year on year: Its published contract awards rose, then fell in the last year. Contracts by publication date in the 12 months to 7 Nov 2026 and the two years before it, oldest first: 17, 25 and 17. A change of more than 15% counts as a rise or fall; each year needs at least 5 contracts.
- Has awarded contracts every year since 2021: At least one contract in every calendar year from 2021 to 2026, by award date (or publication date where the award date is later). Our records begin in 2021.
- Took on 15 new suppliers in the last 12 months: Suppliers named on a contract it awarded and published since 8 November 2025, and on none before. Counted by organisation, not by spelling.
- Has not published end dates for its contracts: None of its 124 contracts gives an end date on the award notice.
- Most recent award: recorded 1 Oct 2026 (5 weeks ago).
- Values: value figures cover the 88 of 92 contracts where a value was published. Values are never added up: framework ceilings and values repeated across lots would make a total meaningless.
- Since 2021: totals count contracts by award date from January 2021, and suppliers by organisation rather than by spelling.
