Summary of the contracting process

Historic Environment Scotland recently completed a public procurement process for the role of a Senior Technology Advisor, aimed at enhancing their technological capabilities in heritage conservation, tourism, and the built environment. The process followed an open procurement method and was overseen by Historic Environment Scotland, headquartered in Edinburgh, UK. The procurement fell under the services category, with bids closing on 11th August 2025, and the contract was subsequently awarded to Human Economics Ltd for a value of £75,000. The contract was signed on 9th September 2025 and facilitates activities within the UKM region.

Companies in the SME sector, especially those with a strong record in technological solutions for heritage or conservation sectors, would have found themselves well-suited to compete. The open procedure encouraged diverse participation, evident from the international interest despite all bids being from outside the EU. The emphasis on digital submissions and electronic processing highlights a preference for tech-savvy firms capable of efficient electronic engagement and compliance with public procurement standards.
