Summary of the contracting process

The Scottish Government has completed a procurement process titled "Interim Legal Staff - Lawyer" for the provision of temporary legal staff services. This tender falls under the general public services industry category and is located in Edinburgh. The procurement utilised a limited method, specifically a call-off from the Framework for Provision of Temporary Legal Staff Services (SCA/C1), without prior publication of a call for competition. The procurement process has reached the award stage, with the contract being signed on 23rd January 2025, for a value of £92,926. The main delivery location is Edinburgh, with delivery addresses situated within the UKM75 region.

This tender provides significant business growth opportunities for SMEs involved in legal staffing services. Since the procurement method involved a direct call-off from an established framework, businesses that are already part of such frameworks would find it highly advantageous. The awarded contract has been granted to Service Care Solutions Ltd, a small to medium-sized enterprise (SME), indicating that similar businesses with expertise in providing temporary legal staff can effectively compete in such tenders. This process highlights the potential for SMEs to engage with national or federal authorities like the Scottish Government for specialised service provisions.
