Summary of the contracting process

Registers of Scotland procured a software development coach through the Scottish Government’s fourth-generation Temporary and Interim Staff (IT) Collaborative Framework Agreement. The requirement is for interim IT personnel services, focused on providing a software development coaching role to support the organisation’s work. The buyer is Registers of Scotland, based in Edinburgh, and hybrid working, where applicable, can take place within the UK. The engagement is classified under CPV 79620000, covering the supply of personnel, including temporary staff. The role profile defines the detailed location and duties. The procurement required a contractor response for the candidate and a separate company profile, with a maximum of one company profile submitted. The engagement was subject to the framework’s terms and conditions, including Schedule 5.

This procurement has been awarded by direct award to Venesky Brown Ltd, the supplier ranked first on the relevant Scottish Government framework. The contract term runs from 20 July 2026 to 18 July 2027, with a possible extension of up to a further 12 months, ending no later than 17 July 2028; extensions are not guaranteed. The initial award value is £143,726.40 excluding VAT, with a maximum potential agreement spend of £287,452.80 excluding VAT if the extension is used. The maximum daily rate was £598.96 including the agency fee and was a pass/fail requirement. Evaluation was based on 80% quality of the interim worker and 20% price. One bid was recorded. The contract is active.

This award indicates demand from Registers of Scotland for specialist interim IT capability, specifically software development coaching, sourced through a public-sector staffing framework. Suppliers well placed for comparable work would combine access to suitable software development coaches with experience supplying temporary or interim technology professionals to public bodies. Credibility would depend on presenting a strong individual candidate whose technical and coaching quality can be evidenced, alongside a concise company profile and a compliant contractor response. Suppliers would also need to operate within framework terms, manage agency-fee-inclusive rate controls, and arrange Baseline Personnel Security Standard checks before successful candidates start, meeting those costs themselves. UK-based delivery capability would support any hybrid arrangement, while familiarity with Scottish Government framework call-offs and public-sector compliance would be relevant.
