Summary of the contracting process

The Scottish Government has awarded a contract for the Single Scottish Estate Gateway Review to Quo Imus Limited, trading as Qi Consulting. Located in Glasgow, the Scottish Government sought consultancy services under the CPV classification "Business and management consultancy services" for this project. The procurement process was conducted through a direct award, where the contract was assigned to Qi Consulting without a competitive tender, reflecting a streamlined approach. As of 29 April 2026, the procurement stage is at the award phase, with the consultancy service playing a strategic role in assessing the estate's management strategy.

This tender represents a valuable growth opportunity for consultancy firms specializing in business and management advisory services. The focus on strategic assessments provides a platform for firms with existing government sector expertise and those looking to expand within the public sector. Given the direct award nature, businesses that have established relationships or prior engagements with government departments may find themselves particularly well-positioned to compete for similar contracts, as demonstrated by Qi Consulting's success in securing this project.
