Summary of the contracting process

Creative Scotland procured a screen-sector Skills Co-ordinator service. The requirement is classified as business and management consultancy services (CPV 79000000) and falls within the services category. The work is associated with Creative Scotland, a public body based in Edinburgh, and delivery is in Scotland. The procurement covered one requirement rather than several separate lots. The available description directs suppliers to a Tender Brief for the detailed scope, so the core commercial proposition is the provision of skills co-ordination for screen-related activity. This is relevant to organisations or individuals providing screen-sector workforce, skills, programme or project co-ordination services, particularly those able to work with a national Scottish cultural organisation.

This procurement has been completed and the contract is active. Creative Scotland used an open procedure, with electronic submission in English, and evaluated one lot. The tender closed at 12:00 on 17 June 2026, with bid opening at the same time. The contract runs from 13 July 2026 to 27 August 2027. The contract was signed on 16 July 2026 and is worth £33,960 excluding VAT. Heather Kondak Ross was awarded the contract for the single lot. One bid was received. Variants were not allowed, and the procurement did not include renewal or additional-purchase options. The contract award followed the stated open competition route, with the detailed evaluation requirements set out in the Tender Brief.

For a supplier assessing future demand, this award demonstrates that Creative Scotland buys dedicated screen-sector skills co-ordination as a standalone service rather than only as part of a wider production contract. A credible competitor would need to show practical expertise in co-ordinating skills activity for the screen sector, understanding of the Scottish cultural and creative context, and the ability to manage delivery for a public-sector client. The successful supplier was an individual provider, indicating that this requirement can suit a specialist consultant as well as a larger consultancy or delivery organisation. Suppliers should be able to work in English, manage the service across Scotland, and present a clear, self-contained approach to the responsibilities set out in the Tender Brief.
