Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process, initiated by the Scottish Government, was designed to award a contract for the position of PMO Lead, classified under economic affairs and general public services. The procurement adhered to an open procedure, indicative of transparency and fairness, and is specifically targeted within the services category. This contracting process, located in the UK and focusing primarily around the Glasgow and Edinburgh regions, has reached the completion stage with an award announced on 18 July 2025. The contract was signed a day earlier on 17 July 2025, with the value of the contract amounting to £107,822. The Scottish Government acted both as the buyer and reviewing authority, ensuring legitimacy and oversight throughout the process.

The tender for a PMO Lead, as part of the Interim Professional Staff Services framework, presents a notable opportunity for firms specialising in consultancy and professional services, particularly those capable of supplying skilled interim personnel. Large companies such as Harvey Nash Limited, which was awarded the contract, are well-positioned to benefit, though the competitive landscape remains accessible due to the use of an open procurement method. Businesses with a robust track record in project management and consultancy, especially those with experience in national or federal projects, stand to grow significantly by participating in such tenders, citing the high value and recurring nature of government contracts as potential avenues for expansion. Participation from foreign entities is also evident, indicating cross-border opportunities within the EU and beyond.
