Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for a Resource and Management Information (R&MI) System by Audit Scotland was conducted under an open procedure. The requirement falls within the industry category of software packages and information systems, aiming to enhance workforce planning and resource management across Audit Scotland's operations. The procurement took place in Edinburgh, Scotland, with the award phase completed on 26th June 2025. Audit Scotland, a central purchasing body governed by public law, managed this process. The contract, valued at £402,000, was awarded to Hub Planner, a firm based in Stockholm, reflecting the competitive nature of the tender which attracted both EU and non-EU bidders.

This tender presents significant growth opportunities for businesses specialising in software development and information systems, particularly those with capabilities in creating unified workforce planning solutions. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with expertise in ISO 27001 certification or equivalent data protection standards would be well-suited to compete for similar tenders. With a focus on technical quality (75%) and pricing (25%) in the award criteria, businesses that can demonstrate strong technical solutions and competitive pricing are likely to find success in such procurement processes hosted by public sector organisations like Audit Scotland.
