Summary of the contracting process

Social Security Scotland, based in Dundee, has completed the award stage of a procurement process under the title "Provision of 2x SPM Business Analysts." This contract falls under the services category and pertains to the public services and social protection sectors. The procurement utilised an open procedure methodology, attracting bids until completion in April 2026. The contract, awarded as part of the Scottish Government and Interim Staff Service Frameworks 2023 to 2027, has a total value of £213,985.20, and was signed on 3rd April 2026. The contract is set within the UKM region, covering the period from 27th April 2026 to 26th October 2026, with an optional six-month extension.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in consultancy and staffing services within the public sector, particularly those with expertise in business analysis and social protection. The open procedure allowed for broad competition, although it concluded with a single foreign bid from a large-scale supplier, Harvey Nash Limited, based in Edinburgh. Companies with strong capabilities in delivering skilled personnel and understanding the operational frameworks of national agencies may find future similar procurements beneficial for growth, particularly as they seek to engage with governmental projects and frameworks. Such opportunities are ideal for firms looking to expand their portfolios by working with national or federal authorities on substantial service delivery projects.
