The Registers of Scotland has awarded a contract for IT temporary and interim staff services to Venesky Brown Ltd, based in Edinburgh. This procurement is part of the Scottish Government's 4th Generation Collaborative Framework Agreement, specifically focusing on frontend developer services. The procurement method was a direct award, meaning it was given to a single supplier without competition. The contract starts on 5th November 2026 and ends on 5th September 2027, with no optional extensions. The maximum daily rate is set at £525, and the procurement is tagged as ‘Outside’ for IR35 purposes. The Baseline Personnel Security Standard (BPSS) is required for candidates before commencing the contract, which offers hybrid working opportunities within the UK.

This tender provides businesses specialising in IT and temporary staffing with substantial growth opportunities, particularly those experienced in government framework agreements. Companies adept at supplying quality interim workers, with robust security checks, will find this contract attractive due to its considerable value of £126,000. The direct award approach limits competition, offering businesses ranked favourably within the framework a streamlined pathway to secure contracts. Venesky Brown Ltd, as the incumbent supplier, is well-positioned, yet other qualified service providers can leverage similar contracts in future iterations of the framework.
