Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process involves Forestry and Land Scotland, which is seeking to enhance its HR Software and Services. This initiative falls under the services category, specifically software programming and consultancy, and it is being managed through a variation without a new procurement procedure. The total contract value has been revised to a maximum of £274,846.29, following amendments that include additional items like a recruitment module. Key dates include the contract signing on 18th February 2019, with a duration of 1440 days, and the procurement is currently at the award stage.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses in the software development and IT consultancy sectors, particularly those with skills in HR-related software solutions. Companies that specialise in software package and information system development, as well as IT services, may find this procurement particularly suitable, given the focus on expanding existing HR capabilities. The involvement of a large supplier, Softcat, also indicates a competitive landscape where smaller or niche firms can leverage their expertise to secure contracts by offering innovative solutions or specialised services.
