Summary of the contracting process

Registers of Scotland procured a senior developer through temporary and interim IT staffing services. The requirement supports work connected with the Land Registry and is for an interim worker rather than a permanent appointment. The buying organisation is Registers of Scotland, with the Scottish Government’s collaborative temporary and interim staff framework providing the supply route. The role can involve hybrid working within the UK, where applicable, and its specific work location is set out in the role profile. This is a services opportunity for recruitment agencies, workforce suppliers and specialist IT staffing providers able to present a suitable senior developer candidate for a public-sector assignment.

The procurement has been awarded by direct award to Venesky Brown Ltd, the supplier ranked first on the Scottish Government Temporary and Interim Staff (IT) 4th Generation Collaborative Framework Agreement. The contract is active and runs initially from 6 July 2026 to 4 July 2027, with a possible further 12-month extension to 3 July 2028; extensions are discretionary and cannot exceed the original term. The initial awarded value is £126,000 GBP. Potential maximum spend including extensions is £252,000 excluding VAT. The maximum daily rate is £525 including agency fee and is a pass/fail condition. Evaluation was based on 80% quality of the interim worker and 20% price.

This award demonstrates demand from Registers of Scotland for senior IT development capability supplied through an established public-sector staffing framework. Suppliers seeking to compete when a similar requirement returns would need access to appropriately experienced senior developers, strong candidate assessment and the ability to provide a clear contractor response and separate company profile. The buyer placed greater weight on the quality of the proposed interim worker than on price, so evidence of technical competence, relevant delivery experience and candidate suitability would be important. Successful candidates must hold Baseline Personnel Security Standard clearance before starting, with the supplier responsible for the associated security-check costs. Providers also need to work within the framework’s terms and rate controls.
