Summary of the contracting process

The Scottish Government, located at 5 Atlantic Quay in Glasgow, has recently completed a procurement process for a membership to a fraud prevention database and identity checks, under the industry category of general public services and environmental protection. The tender, identified as CASE/658576, was awarded without prior publication of a call for competition due to technical reasons, signifying that Cifas was the sole provider capable of offering this service. This contract, valued at £60,311, was signed on 11th September 2024 and includes a 12-month membership with an option to extend for an additional 12 months. The procurement followed a limited procurement method and is now in the award stage, covering the region of UKM (United Kingdom - Scotland).

This tender offers significant opportunities for businesses involved in fraud prevention and data management services. It confirms a contractual relationship with a major governmental body, which could lead to further contracts and reputation enhancement. Companies that specialise in providing comprehensive fraud detection solutions, especially those with unique service offerings and technical capabilities, are well-suited to compete in similar future procurements. The stable and potentially extendable nature of this contract provides a predictable revenue stream and could act as a springboard for further business expansion into government service sectors.
