Summary of the contracting process

The Scottish Government has successfully completed the tender for the "Digital Identity Beta Contract," a public procurement process aimed at developing and supporting the Digital Identity Beta Project. This contract, valued at £982,702, focuses on IT services, including consulting, software development, Internet, and support. The project is located in Edinburgh, UK, and falls under the services category. The procurement method was 'limited,' entailing an award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition, justified by the need to extend previous contracted work. The contract was signed on 3rd March 2025.

This tender offers significant opportunities for businesses specialising in IT services, particularly those with expertise in digital identity solutions. Companies like Scott Logic Ltd, which has secured the contract, will find opportunities for business growth through the development and support of digital identity systems. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) operating within the tech industry would be well-suited to compete in similar tenders due to their agility and specialised knowledge. The Scottish Government, as a central purchasing body, facilitates such procurement processes, providing a platform for businesses to contribute to governmental IT initiatives and expand their market presence.
