Summary of the contracting process

The Scottish Government, headquartered at Victoria Quay in Edinburgh, recently completed a procurement process titled "Multi-factor Authentication," under the services category. The process, now at the award stage, aimed to support multi-factor authentication processes and was carried out using an open procedure under the CCS G-Cloud 14 Framework Agreement (RM1557.14). The award was finalised on 18th May 2026 with a contract value of £36,000. The primary delivery address is within the UK region, specifically Scotland (UKM).

This tender presents significant business growth opportunities, especially for companies involved in IT security services. Large-scale suppliers, such as NCC Group Security Services Limited, who secured the contract, may find this type of project well-suited to their capabilities in implementing robust authentication protocols. While participation was limited—one bid was received electronically from a non-EU supplier—businesses that specialise in providing secure digital solutions could find similar opportunities advantageous for expanding their portfolio within public sector projects.
