Summary of the contracting process

Registers of Scotland appointed a professional temporary and interim staff supplier for one Agile Coach role focused on data and related responsibilities. The requirement is for the provision of an interim professional rather than a permanent appointment, under the Scottish Government Temporary and Interim Staff Framework, fourth generation. It is a personnel supply service for Registers of Scotland, with hybrid working available within the UK where applicable. The selected supplier is Venesky Brown Ltd. The role is subject to the framework’s terms and conditions, including its requirements for contractor responses and a separate company profile. Suppliers operating in interim professional recruitment, specialist staff provision, Agile coaching or data-related transformation are the closest fit for this type of requirement.

This procurement has been awarded through a direct award to Venesky Brown Ltd, the supplier ranked first on the Scottish Government Temporary and Interim Staff (Professional) framework; no competition was held between suppliers for this call-off. The award was for an initial six-month contract from 3 August 2026 to 31 January 2027, with a possible extension of up to six months ending no later than 30 July 2027. The initial awarded value is £78,000 excluding VAT, with potential maximum spend of £156,000 excluding VAT if the extension is used. The contract was signed on 7 October 2026 and is active. Evaluation was weighted 80% to the quality of the interim worker and 20% to price. The maximum day rate was £650 excluding VAT, including agency fees, as a pass/fail condition.

This award demonstrates demand from Registers of Scotland for a single, specialist interim professional able to provide Agile coaching and data-related expertise through a public-sector staffing framework. A credible future supplier would need access to suitable senior candidates, strong evidence of the quality and relevance of each proposed worker, and the ability to manage a compliant contractor response and company profile. Baseline Personnel Security Standard checks must be completed for successful candidates before work starts, with the supplier carrying the related costs. Framework eligibility and familiarity with its terms are important because this route uses a ranked supplier and a direct call-off rather than an open competition. Firms combining specialist recruitment, public-sector delivery experience and reliable security-check processes are best placed to compete when comparable demand returns.
