Summary of the contracting process

The Registers of Scotland, located in Edinburgh, recently concluded an award stage in a procurement process titled "Award of RoS: SG Professional Temporary and Interim Staff Direct Award - Senior User Researcher." This direct procurement, under the main industry category of services, focuses on supplying personnel, specifically temporary staff. The awarded contract, valued at GBP 56,192.40, is set for a six-month duration. The procurement method was direct, where the contract was granted to Venesky Brown Ltd without competition, aligning with the Scottish Government's Temporary and Interim Staff (Professional) Collaborative Framework Agreement. Key considerations include a rate guidance of up to GBP 468.27 per day and necessary BPSS security checks before the contract begins. The contract allows for hybrid working conditions within the UK only.

This procurement presents an opportunity for businesses specialising in the supply of professional temporary and interim staff. The contract's focus on a Senior User Researcher role, coupled with a strong emphasis on the quality of the interim worker, highlights an opportunity for companies with a robust reputation in delivering high-quality staffing solutions. Businesses capable of providing personnel with specialist skills, and those who can adhere to the Framework's standards, would be well-suited to pursue similar contracts and expand their service offerings to public sector clients. Despite the presence of an incumbent supplier, all qualifying submissions were considered, indicating the potential for new entrants to gain a foothold in future opportunities.
