Summary of the contracting process

Historic Environment Scotland, a national heritage body, has completed the procurement process for a contract entitled "Call Off From Scottish Government Temporary and Interim Staff Services Framework". The procurement falls under the services category and is specific to the region of Edinburgh, UKM75. The process utilised an open procedure under the open procurement method, adhering to GPA coverage. The call-off contract was awarded on 7th July 2025 following the tender stage, which sought to procure services for a business analyst. This engagement was part of a larger framework: the Scottish Government Temporary and Interim Staff Services Framework. The total contract value is £70,000 GBP.

This contract offers a significant opportunity for businesses that provide professional staffing services, particularly those specialising in temporary and interim roles such as business analysts. While the awarded supplier, Harvey Nash Limited—classified as a large enterprise—secured the contract, organisations of various sizes could consider similar opportunities in future tenders. Given that the entire bidding involved four electronic submissions, with no bids from small or local enterprises, there is clear potential for SMEs to enter and compete for such calls, especially in the heritage, tourism, and conservation sectors associated with Historic Environment Scotland.
