Summary of the contracting process

Registers of Scotland, based in Edinburgh, has initiated a procurement process under the tag "award" to appoint a Platform Engineer through a direct award. This procurement falls within the services industry category, specifically the supply services of personnel including temporary staff, and is associated with the Scottish Government Temporary and Interim Staff (IT) Collaborative Framework Agreement. The contract, valued at £136,320 GBP, will commence on 4th June 2026 and last until 4th April 2027. Venesky Brown Ltd, the incumbent supplier located in Edinburgh, has been awarded the contract, with the possibility of extension until 2028. The procurement method employed is direct, meaning it is awarded to a single supplier without competition. The quality of the interim worker is the primary criterion for award, making up 80% of the decision-making process, with the remaining 20% based on price.

This procurement opportunity offers business growth potential for organisations specialising in IT temporary and interim staffing services. Given the necessity for personnel supply services, businesses with expertise in providing high-quality temporary staff, particularly those with a strong portfolio of skilled IT professionals, stand to benefit. The procurement specifies the requirement for Baseline Personnel Security Standard checks, indicating that businesses already familiar with security clearance procedures will be at an advantage. Companies should note the maximum allowable day rate of £568, as bids over this amount will not be considered. The framework's requirement for hybrid working flexibility within the UK could also be appealing to businesses with adaptable staffing models. Overall, this tender is especially suited to businesses that can deliver top-tier IT professionals aligned with the specific demands of the Scottish Government Framework Agreement.
