Summary of the contracting process

The Scottish Government, located in Glasgow, has concluded the procurement process titled "Award of Evaluation of Scotland House London" under the industry category of research and development services and related consultancy. The project involves a direct procurement approach, where The Lines Between Ltd., based in Edinburgh, was awarded as the single supplier, bypassing competitive bidding. This tender pertains to the evaluation of Scotland House in London, with the contracting award valued at £19,500. The procurement process is currently in the award stage, finalised on 30th January 2026. The procurement falls within the goods category, specifically aligned with consultancy services coded under CPV 73000000.

This tender presents several opportunities for businesses focused on consultancy and evaluation services within the public sector, particularly those with expertise in research and development. Although this contract was awarded through a direct procurement process, firms specialising in similar sectors can seek future opportunities by maintaining close ties with government agencies and demonstrating unique service propositions. Businesses adept at undertaking small-scale evaluation projects, particularly within the governmental context, are well-suited to engage with such opportunities, potentially leading to further collaborations with public sector bodies like the Scottish Government.
