Summary of the contracting process

The Registers of Scotland, based in Edinburgh, has awarded a contract for the provision of an IT Device Deployment Engineer as part of the Scottish Government's temporary and interim staff services. This contract is categorised under supply services of personnel, specifically temporary staff, and aligns with the services industry category. The award marks the completion of the procurement process for this particular role and is effective from 29th September 2025. The procurement method utilised was a direct award, facilitated by the Scottish Government Temporary and Interim Staff (IT) - 4th Generation - Collaborative Framework Agreement, handed to Venesky Brown Ltd. The contract duration is set for six months, with a maximum budget of £210 per day, and requires standard Baseline Personnel Security Standard (BPSS) checks for successful candidates. The role permits hybrid working within the UK as per job profile specifications. The procurement reportedly focused on quality, with an 80% weighting on interim worker quality and 20% on price.

This tender provides significant opportunities for recruitment agencies and consulting firms specialising in IT and temporary staff services. Given the requirement for an IT Device Deployment Engineer under the government's framework agreement, businesses with expertise in IT staffing, particularly those familiar with public sector contracts and compliance with security checks like BPSS, will find this an attractive prospect. The direct award nature of this procurement underscores the importance of having pre-established relationships within government frameworks, offering advantageous positions to firms already participating or qualified in such frameworks, and enabling them to secure contracts efficiently, fostering business growth in government contract markets.
