When this comes round again

Scottish Prison Service has published 7 Business Services notices, about every 6 months. On that rhythm the next one is expected around February 2027.

32% of Scottish Prison Service’s awards go to a supplier it has used before.

Which is the argument for getting on the list rather than winning this one. The incumbent is rarely the last winner — it is the roster. See the retention odds by category →
