Provision of Catering and Associated Services to Scottish Court and Tribunals Service (SCTS)

Scottish Courts and Tribunals Service (SCTS) is undertaking early market engagement to inform the development of its future catering services requirements across the SCTS estate. The requirement may include a range of catering services, including jury meals, hospitality, retail catering, vending and alternative catering provision at lower-volume locations. Through this Prior Information Notice (PIN), SCTS is seeking market feedback on supplier capability and interest, potential service and commercial delivery models, operational and commercial viability, information requirements, innovation and potential barriers to participation. Feedback received will help inform the development of SCTS's procurement strategy and any future procurement exercise. This PIN is for market engagement purposes only and does not constitute a call for competition or commit SCTS to any particular procurement route, scope, contract structure, lotting approach, commercial model or timetable.
