Section IV: Procedure
IV.1) Description
IV.1.1) Type of procedure
Award of a contract without prior publication of a call for competition
Justification for selected award procedure:
The procurement falls outside the scope of application of the Directive
Explanation
Continuity of service is required at HMP Shotts due to their reliance on the Kiosk service while the national in-cell services contract tender process is being undertaken. This is primarily due to the operational risk associated with removing the Kiosk service and as a result of both users and SPS staff being heavily reliant on the Kiosk service (including the time saving it has achieved by moving away from manual, paper based processes).
