Summary of the contracting process

The Crown Office and Procurator Fiscal Service (COPFS) has completed a public procurement process for "Pay and Grading Job Evaluation Services", classified under recruitment services. This procurement was initiated as a limited process without prior publication of a call for competition, primarily due to technical requirements stipulated under the Public Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2015. The contract was awarded on November 1, 2021, with a total value of £125,000 and the delivery is set in the United Kingdom (UKM) region. The successful supplier for this contract is Beamans Management Consultants, responsible for assisting COPFS in evaluating job roles to facilitate a pay parity agreement with trade unions.
