Prison building construction work

Tender description

The Cabinet Secretary for Justice announced in June 2015 that Scotland was adopting a new approach to the support of female offenders in custody, including the need to create an environment that encourages and assists with their transformational change, utilising facilities designed and built to take account of gender and potential trauma. The strategy seeks to deliver a new Women’s National Facility at the site of HMP Cornton Vale, Stirling, together with the provision of 5 Community Custody Units (CCUs) at various locations across Scotland. In July 2017, the Cabinet Secretary for Justice announced that the first 2 CCUs would be in: 1) Glasgow and 2) Fife/Dundee areas (subsequently confirmed as Maryhill in Glasgow and Hilltown, Dundee respectively). This contract notice is for the CCU at Hilltown, Dundee only. The procurement will follow the restricted procedure: — following publication of the contract notice, a European Single Procurement Document (ESPD) will be published by SPS and will be made available to bidders, along with SPS's supporting guidance document, — following the evaluation of the ESPD, shortlisted bidders will be provided with an Invitation to Tender (ITT). Tender responses will then be evaluated by SPS.
