Summary of the contracting process

The Scottish Government has completed the procurement process for the "CT - Award of UCD Accessibility Lead", a contract involving the provision of interim professional staff services in the general public services category, specifically under CPV code 79600000. This procurement, executed through an open procedure, culminated on 16 May 2025. The contract location is within the UKM region, with significant activity centred around Glasgow. Key dates include the contract signing on 12 May 2025. The process has been classified under services and is aligned with national or federal agency criteria.

This tender presents a prime opportunity for businesses specialising in recruitment and provision of interim professional services to broaden their portfolio and gain significant revenue streams, especially those capable of supplying experienced personnel in user-centred design accessibility roles. Although the award went to Lorien Resourcing Ltd, a large-scale firm based in Edinburgh, the open procurement method indicates that similar contracts could be accessible to both large firms and smaller enterprises positioning themselves within the professional services industry. Businesses with capabilities in delivering such niche expertise can leverage this type of contract to bolster their market presence and drive business growth.
