PCS Notice - Website Contract Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The University of Strathclyde bought two temporary professional staff roles for its DHI activity: a Service Delivery Consultant and a Programme Manager. This is a professional staffing and interim management services requirement, rather than the supply of permanent employees, equipment or construction work. The buyer is the University of Strathclyde, based in Glasgow, and the work is delivered in Glasgow. The procurement is classified under CPV 79620000, covering the supply of personnel including temporary staff. The requirement was arranged as one lot and was fulfilled through the Scottish Government Framework for Interim Professional Staff Services, national reference SP-22-001. It therefore provides a clear example of the university’s demand for specialist temporary personnel through an established public-sector staffing route.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded to Venesky Brown Ltd. The contract was signed on 29 June 2026 and is active, with an awarded contract value of £161,145. The university used a limited procedure without prior publication of a call for competition, relying on the Scottish Government framework for interim professional staff services. One bid was recorded for the lot, submitted electronically; it was not recorded as an SME bid. The award covered the single lot for both temporary roles. The procurement was covered by the Government Procurement Agreement. The published outcome records the selected supplier and contract value, but does not provide a separate award date or contract end date.

This outcome is relevant to recruitment agencies, interim management providers and professional services firms able to supply experienced temporary staff for higher-education or public-sector programmes. A credible competitor would need access to suitably qualified people who can take on service delivery consulting and programme management responsibilities, with the capacity to place two specialists and support their engagement. The route used is important: the requirement was fulfilled through a Scottish Government framework, so future participation would depend on having access to the relevant framework or an equivalent approved route. The single recorded bid also indicates a focused supplier field for this requirement. Firms building capability in public-sector interim staffing can use this buyer and these role types as a clear reference point for future demand.
