Summary of the contracting process

The Crown Office and Procurator Fiscal Service (COPFS) based in Edinburgh has completed an open procurement process for interim staff services, specifically seeking an iOS Developer. This contract, titled "COPFS-2024-453," falls under the 'services' category and pertains to social protection. It aimed to hire a developer to design, build, deploy and document software solutions to support and modernise COPFS applications. The tender was part of the SG Interim IT Staff Services framework SP-22-002 and was awarded using an open procedure. The contract was signed on 6th May 2025, valued at GBP 286,038, and offers an option for extension for up to 24 additional months. Harvey Nash Limited, a large enterprise located in Edinburgh, was the awarded supplier, highlighting its expertise in providing high-quality IT personnel for such roles.

This procurement presents significant business growth opportunities, particularly for IT service providers specialising in software development and consultancy. Companies experienced in developing and managing sophisticated case management systems and those capable of working within government frameworks would find this contract particularly appealing. Moreover, the open procurement method encourages a competitive environment, providing opportunities for businesses capable of delivering specialised IT services to governmental agencies. Although the contract value is notable, not a single bid from SMEs was recorded, indicating potential room for smaller enterprises to enter future procurements in this domain. The focus on digital transformation within COPFS suggests ongoing demand for tech solutions geared towards public sector infrastructure, thus creating sustained growth avenues for IT businesses willing to navigate public procurement landscapes.
