PCS Notice - Website Contract Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The National Records of Scotland has completed an award process for extending a programme manager contract, aimed at maintaining service continuity beyond previously set limits. This process falls under the 'General public services' category, with services centred in Edinburgh, Scotland, within the UKM75 region. The procurement method utilised is 'limited', indicating an award was made without prior publication of a call for competition, as the extension does not constitute a new public contract under the Public Contracts Regulations. The contract was signed on 27th March 2026 with Harvey Nash Limited as the supplier, indicating a continuation of an existing engagement rather than a new procurement exercise.

This tender presents business growth opportunities for entities specialised in programme management services, particularly those familiar with working under established framework agreements. Large businesses with a proven track record in delivering consistent and high-quality programme management services may find this type of contract attractive, given the assurance of continuity and stability without altering the services' scope, nature, or scale. Companies with operations centred or willing to operate in Edinburgh may profit from such engagements, fostering long-term relationships with governmental bodies like the National Records of Scotland.

Notice Information

Notice Title

Extension to Programme Manager Contract

Notice Description

Extension of Programme manager to ensure continuity beyond the original contract's extension limits.

Lot Information

Lot 1

Extension of Programme Manager service to ensure continuity beyond the original contract's extension limits.

Procurement Information

This six-month extension to the existing engagement for the provision of a programme manager does not constitute a new public contract and therefore falls outside the scope of the Public Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2015. The resource was originally appointed following a competitive process under an established framework agreement (SP-18-014), with their engagement subsequently continued through the permissible extensions associated with the initial call-off. The current request is a short, time-limited continuation of those services to maintain essential programme continuity, rather than the initiation of a new procurement exercise. The scope, nature, and scale of the services remain unchanged from those originally procured. The extension introduces no new deliverables and does not alter the fundamental character of the contract.
