Summary of the contracting process

The Scottish Qualifications Authority has recently concluded a procurement process for the "SQA Website Maintenance, Development & Hosting" project, which falls under the information technology services category. This procurement was conducted using a limited method without prior publication of a call for competition, facilitated by the G-cloud 12 framework. The contract, valued at £280,000, was signed on 1st April 2022, and the related lot for hosting and support services has since been cancelled. All activities were based in the UK, specifically Glasgow, where the buying organisation is located.

This tender presents an opportunity for SMEs specialising in IT services, particularly those offering web hosting and development solutions, to engage with the Scottish Qualifications Authority. Although this specific contract has been awarded, similar opportunities may arise as government agencies often require ongoing or additional support in these areas. Businesses with expertise in managed hosting services and those familiar with G-cloud frameworks would be especially suited to pursue future tenders in this sector.
