Summary of the contracting process

The Registers of Scotland has awarded a contract under the Crown Commercial Services RM6277 Non Clinical Staffing Collaborative Framework Agreement for DevOps Engineer roles. This procurement falls under the "Supply services of personnel including temporary staff" category, with the contract commencing on 3rd September 2026 and set to conclude on 3rd July 2027, with a potential extension to March 2028. The contract is valued at £142,800 for the initial year, with the supplier being Sanderson Government and Defence, based in Edinburgh. The procurement process was conducted in the Award stage, emphasising the quality of interim workers, with an 80 per cent focus on quality and 20 per cent on price. The Registers of Scotland operates hybrid working within the UK, and adherence to the Baseline Personnel Security Standard (BPSS) checks is mandatory before the contract begins.

This contract presents a valuable opportunity for businesses providing staffing services, particularly those specialising in personnel for non-clinical roles and temporary staff. Companies capable of offering qualified DevOps Engineers adhering to the BPSS could find growth through such agreements, especially given the possibility of a contract extension doubling the potential spend to £285,600. The rate guidance indicates competitive pricing, with the maximum daily fee capped at £595, inclusive of agency fees. Businesses with expertise in IT and development staffing, and those operating within Edinburgh or the UK, are well-positioned to leverage the hybrid working model and contribute effectively to the Registers of Scotland’s operations.
