The Scottish Prison Service (SPS) recognises the importance of effective public procurement and contract management activity to underpin SPS’s operational activities and the role this can serve in contributing towards the broad range of National Outcomes set out in Scotland’s National Performance Framework.

The Scottish Prison Service (SPS) is well aware of the importance of effective procurement and contract management activity. When undertaken effectively and efficiently, these activities ensure that SPS derives value for money from our external expenditure and that the goods, services and works procured are fit for purpose and directly support SPS in our wider service delivery.
