Summary of the contracting process

The Scottish Government has recently awarded a contract titled "Award of Scottish Government Communications Requirement," which focuses on providing communications personnel. This procurement falls under the services industry category and was finalised on 30th December 2016. The award period spanned from 30th December 2016 to 30th November 2018, marking it as a significant undertaking for the government to enhance its communications capabilities. Notably, the contract's award was related to an IT error that prevented the publication of the award notice at the time, but it has now been documented effectively.

This tender presents a unique opportunity for businesses in the recruitment and staffing industry, particularly those specialising in temporary and agency staffing solutions. Companies that excel in providing skilled communications personnel, such as recruitment agencies and professional services firms, are well-positioned to compete for similar future contracts. As this contract was awarded following interviews with suppliers, businesses demonstrating proven competency and experience in recruiting for communications roles will find themselves at a competitive advantage.
