Summary of the contracting process

The Scottish Government has completed an open procurement process for awarding the contract titled "Award of Lead Technical Architect" through the framework SP-22-002 Interim IT Staff Services. The procurement falls under the services category and targets organisations within the UKM region, with a focus on IT staffing services. The final award notice was issued on 20th January 2026, following the contract signing on 23rd September 2025. This contracting process marked an important stage—the award phase—where Lorien Resourcing Ltd, based in Edinburgh, UK, was selected as the successful supplier. The total contract value is £231,250.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in IT architecture and consultancy services, particularly those capable of providing interim staffing solutions. Although the contract was awarded through an open procedure, it attracted only one bid, highlighting potential room for increased competition in future similar procurement processes. Companies with experience in delivering IT solutions and those that can operate within a governmental framework would be well-positioned to participate in similar future tenders published by the Scottish Government, enabling them to expand their market presence and secure governmental contracts.
