II.1.3) The notice involves: A public contract.
II.1.5) Short description of the contract or purchase(s): The Scottish
Prison Service (SPS) is an Agency of the Scottish Government Justice
Department and currently operates from 13 Prisons from 15 prison sites
across Scotland. In addition to the prison establishments, the SPS also
operates a college, a central store and an administrative headquarters
building. SPS locations range from Inverness & Peterhead in the north to
Dumfries in the south. Further information and Site location is available
from our website www.sps.gov.uk.
The intention of this invitation to tender is to award a Contract with one
supplier for a 2 year term with extension options. This will enable the
supply and provision of a range of miscellaneous standard catering
consumable items to any SPS locations which require such goods. The SPS
would expect the supplier to assess and offer a viable range of value for
money products which meet the minimum performance specification outlined
in this Schedule B and Annex 1. Historic SPS expenditure on catering
consumables has been approximately 66 000 GBP per annum (approx 45 % on
core items and 55 % on non-core items). The SPS will not guarantee annual
volumes for individual items throughout its sites. Similarly there will be
no guarantee of minimum order quantities or values.
The SPS is committed to improving its sustainability performance and
thereby minimising the effect of its operations on the environment. This
commitment is reflected in the SPS Sustainability Policy
(http://www.sps.gov.uk//MultimediaGallery/
4a246765-8133-48e2-8d72-709eac8c57de.pdf). Historically, the SPS has
utilised large volumes of foil containers and is now seeking a more
sustainable cost effective alternative product if available e.g. foil
containers that contain a percentage of recycled or reused material. The
Supplier will be expected to support the SPS sustainability policy by, for
example, through minimising and reducing packaging and other waste.
