PCS Notice - Website Contract Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Scottish Government has awarded a contract for the development of an online identity and pre-employment check tool to Amiqus Resolution Limited. This procurement, valued at £49,999, aims to minimise the timescale for completing identity and pre-employment checks as required by the HMG Baseline Personal Security Standard (BPSS). The contract was awarded through a limited procurement method due to extreme urgency, bypassing prior publication of a call for competition. The entire process, including stages of tender and award, is marked as complete, with the contract active from 14th February 2025. The primary location for the delivery of these services is within the UKM region, specifically in Scotland's central belt.

This tender offers significant growth opportunities for businesses specialising in digital identity verification and pre-employment check services. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with expertise in developing compliance tools and solutions for public sector requirements would be well-positioned to compete for similar contracts. Participation in such tenders can enhance business portfolios, increase market presence, and provide substantial revenue streams through government partnerships. Businesses with the capability to respond to urgent procurement needs effectively stand to benefit greatly from these opportunities.

Notice Title

SPPD - On-line Identify and Pre-employment Check Tool

Notice Description

The Scottish Government require an on-line tool to minimise the timescale for completing and complying with the identity and pre-employment checks required by HMG Baseline Personal Security Standard (BPSS)

Lot Information

Lot 1

The Scottish Government has contracted Amiqus Resolution Ltd to supply The Scottish Government with an on-line tool to minimise the timescale for completing and complying with the identity and pre-employment checks required by HMG Baseline Personal Security Standard (BPSS).

Procurement Information

The requirement was brought about by extreme urgency unforeseen by the contracting authority. The value of the proposed contract falls below the thresholds at which the Public Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2015 (and perhaps more immediately the Procurement (Scotland) Regulations 2016) apply, however, they remain instructive to our decision-making process.
