Summary of the contracting process

The Scottish Government has recently awarded a contract for the provision of two User Researchers (B2-DDaT) in the IT services sector, specifically focusing on consulting, software development, and support. The procurement process, which involved a tender initiated on 29 March 2021 and concluded with the contract being signed on 26 March 2021, attracted six bids and has a total contract value of £127,502. The award period ends on 19 November 2021, and the contract is currently active. The buying organisation is based in Edinburgh, while the suppliers selected for the award are Harvey Nash and Venesky Brown Ltd, both also located in Edinburgh.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in IT services, particularly those with expertise in user research and development for digital projects. Companies that provide consulting and software development services would find themselves well-positioned to compete in this market. Given the growing demand for digital transformation within public sector organisations, suppliers who can swiftly demonstrate their capability to deliver effective user research will likely thrive in this environment.
