Why no open competition: The procurement falls outside the scope of application of the directive
Published justification: Continuity of service is required at HMP Shotts due to their reliance on the Kiosk service while the national Kiosk 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).
