Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the provision of an interim Senior Cloud Engineer has been conducted by Social Security Scotland, based in Dundee. Categorised under the "Social protection" industry, this contract is focused on the delivery of services within the region of UKM82. The process, bearing the tender ID S/26/50, has reached the award stage as of 2nd June 2026, with the contract signed on 28th May 2026. This procurement was carried out using a limited method, involving a mini competition through an established Scottish Government framework for interim staff appointments, without a prior call for competition. The process has now been completed, and the contract is active, valued at £6,448.86.

This tender presents substantial business growth opportunities, particularly for firms with expertise in cloud engineering services. Although the contract was awarded to Harvey Nash Limited, a large-scale supplier based in Edinburgh, the process saw multiple bids, highlighting the competitive nature of interim staffing within government sectors. Businesses specialising in temporary and technical staffing solutions, particularly with a foothold in frameworks established by government bodies, were well-suited to participate in such procurements. The use of established frameworks and the nature of specialised service provision suggest potential for future opportunities in similar roles or projects within government sectors.
