Summary of the contracting process

The Scottish Government’s Marine Directorate procured professional staff services from a Technical Architect. The requirement included submitting proposals and CVs, indicating a need for an individual or provider able to supply suitably qualified technical architecture expertise for Marine Directorate work. This is a services procurement, classified under personnel supply services (CPV 79620000). The contracting organisation is the Scottish Government, with the Marine Directorate based at the Marine Laboratory in Aberdeen. Perth & Kinross Council is also listed as a buyer in the wider contracting process, but the stated requirement is specifically for the Scottish Government’s Marine Directorate. The work concerns technical architecture rather than general administrative or routine temporary staffing.

The procurement has reached the award and contract stage. Five bids were recorded, and Venesky Brown Ltd was selected for the Technical Architect requirement. The awarded value is £83,323.52 including the stated currency of GBP. The contract is active and was signed on 7 July 2026. The opportunity formed part of the Scottish Government Interim Professional Staff Services Framework. The available data identifies the requirement as a tender for proposals and CVs, but does not set out a separate procurement method, evaluation weighting, lot structure, contract end date or duration. The award therefore confirms the selected supplier and financial scale, while the active contract records the signed agreement.

This award is relevant to suppliers providing technical architecture professionals through public-sector staffing or consultancy arrangements. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need access to an experienced Technical Architect and the ability to present a strong proposal supported by clear, relevant CV evidence. The buyer’s use of an interim professional staff services framework shows a route for engaging specialist personnel rather than procuring a broad software implementation or construction project. Suppliers should therefore be able to respond to a defined professional resource requirement, demonstrate the individual’s technical architecture capability and manage the formal proposal process. Specialist recruitment businesses, technology consultancies and framework-ready professional services providers are the closest fit.
