Planning Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Social Security Scotland is conducting a procurement process for a Unified Security Platform under the industry category of security software development services. The project is currently in the planning stage with a Request for Information (RFI) issued to gather market intelligence and inform future tender specifications. Interested parties can submit their responses by 4th June 2026. Key locations for the delivery of services include Agnes Husband House in Dundee and additional sites in Glasgow and Dundee, within the UKM region. This procurement aligns with the legal framework of Directive 2014/24/EU, with a projected value of £350,000.

Businesses specialising in security software development are well-positioned to leverage this opportunity, as the RFI seeks insights into innovative solutions for enhancing Social Security Scotland's security infrastructure. This presents potential growth avenues for companies with expertise in developing and implementing robust security platforms. Engaging early in this planning stage allows businesses to influence demands and requirements, potentially positioning them advantageously for future competitive tendering when the procurement process advances. The eventual contract offers substantial scope for collaboration with a national public authority, likely fostering long-term partnerships and expanding market reach.
