The Scottish Futures Trust Limited (SFT), based in Edinburgh, conducted an open tender procurement process to appoint a single vendor to manage a range of IT services within their IT environment. The tender, titled "IT Managed Services," falls under the industry category of services, specifically infrastructure. This procurement process began in September 2024, with submissions due by 11th October 2024. The contract was successfully awarded in February 2025, with the final contract signed on 29th January 2025, valued at £398,820. The awarded contract involves service management, service delivery, and IT project delivery primarily located in Edinburgh.

This tender represents significant business growth opportunities, particularly for IT service providers with a capability in service management, service delivery, and project management. The competitive open procedure ensures that large-scale vendors equipped to handle comprehensive IT managed services had the opportunity to bid. Waterstons, a large company, ultimately secured the contract, which points to the potential for well-established firms to leverage their expertise and resources in similar procurement opportunities.
