Summary of the contracting process

The Registers of Scotland (RoS) conducted a procurement process for IT temporary and interim staff services, specifically seeking a Senior DevOps Engineer under the Scottish Government's Collaborative Framework Agreement. The procurement, categorised under services with CPV code 79620000, concluded with an award to Harvey Nash Limited. The procurement stage is at the Award stage, having culminated on the 29th of August, 2025. The tender period extended from the 9th of August, 2025 to the 9th of April, 2026. The contract duration is initially set for 12 months with a possibility of extension, though any extensions will not exceed the original contract length. RoS, based in Edinburgh, adopts hybrid working within the UK, emphasising flexibility in operational locations.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in IT staffing solutions, particularly those well-versed in supplying personnel for intricate DevOps roles. Given the emphasis on quality, with 80% of the award criteria focusing on interim worker competence, businesses with a strong portfolio of skilled professionals are poised to be competitive candidates. The procurement method, operating under a framework agreement, also suggests potential for future opportunities as the framework evolves. The role requires daily rates up to £575, inclusive of agency fees, offering profitable chances for agencies adept at providing top-tier IT professionals under a structured hiring model. Businesses focusing on IT recruitment and consultancy services could leverage this opportunity to expand their client base, enhance their industry reputation, and foster growth through additions to their team that align with the premium standards outlined by RoS.
