Summary of the contracting process

The Scottish Environment Protection Agency (SEPA) is seeking suppliers for the "Supply of a Job Evaluation Scheme and System" to develop and implement a modern, cloud-based solution. Located in Stirling, the procurement process is currently complete, having gone through an open procedure method for services. The award for the contract, valued at £355,000, was signed on 14 March 2022, following a well-publicised tendering period that concluded in mid-February 2021. This project is classified under environmental protection services, which indicates a significant focus on advancing SEPA’s operational capabilities.

This procurement opportunity presents considerable prospects for businesses specialising in cloud-based systems, job evaluation methodologies, and associated training services. Suppliers that have a strong background in developing and implementing similar systems within large organisations will be particularly well-placed to compete. Given the emphasis on proven case studies and existing implementations in sizeable organisations, companies with extensive experience in this sector and those able to demonstrate robust financial stability and technical capability—such as certifications like ISO 9001—are encouraged to engage with SEPA’s future initiatives.
