Summary of the contracting process

The Registers of Scotland has awarded a contract for IT Temporary and Interim Staff, specifically for a Network Engineer focusing on Site Resilience, under the Scottish Government's Collaborative Framework Agreement. The contract, initiated as a tender process, pertains to the services category and deals with supplying temporary personnel. The site of services is primarily based at the Registers of Scotland's headquarters in Edinburgh, with hybrid working arrangements within the UK. This contract, awarded to Venesky Brown Ltd, commenced on 21st August 2025 and is set for a duration of 12 months with a potential extension. The award was based on a stringent criterion giving 80% weight to the quality of the worker and 20% to pricing, with the maximum allowable cost set at £625 per day.

This tender offers significant opportunities for businesses specialising in IT staffing and recruitment services, particularly those capable of providing high-calibre network engineers. Organisations experienced in navigating the IR35 determination and those able to adhere to the specific conditions of hybrid working within the UK will find this contract opportunity advantageous. With a fair evaluation process despite the presence of an incumbent supplier, companies with strong profiles and competitive pricing strategies will be well-placed to benefit from this and similar future contracts with Registers of Scotland and other governmental bodies. This opportunity not only facilitates direct growth through the contract value but also enhances the bidders' reputation in the public sector, positioning them well for future bids.
