Summary of the contracting process

Registers of Scotland commissioned temporary and interim IT personnel for a Network Engineer specialising in site resilience. The requirement is a professional staffing service rather than a general IT delivery contract, with the role raised under the Scottish Government Temporary and Interim Staff (IT) Fourth Generation Collaborative Framework Agreement. The buying organisation is Registers of Scotland, based in Edinburgh. The engagement concerns supplying a suitably qualified network engineering resource to support the organisation’s site-resilience needs. Framework terms, including Schedule 5, apply to the engagement. Suppliers were expected to respond against the Registers of Scotland ITQ, the role profile and the IR35 determination, with a contractor response for each candidate and a separate company profile.

This procurement has been awarded through a Quick Quote call-off under the Scottish Government Temporary and Interim Staff (IT) Fourth Generation Collaborative Framework Agreement. ASA Recruitment (Quick Quotes) was selected, and the resulting contract is recorded as active. The awarded value is £142,500. Registers of Scotland received one bid. The opportunity was evaluated against the stated requirement and associated documents, with submissions meeting the criteria intended to be evaluated fairly. The award covers the Network Engineer – Site Resilience role and applies the framework’s terms and conditions, including Schedule 5. The process therefore represents a completed supplier selection rather than an unawarded requirement.

For suppliers tracking future demand from Registers of Scotland, this award demonstrates a requirement for temporary or interim network engineering support focused on site resilience. A credible competitor would need access to network engineers who can meet the role profile, understand resilience requirements and operate within a public-sector staffing framework. Framework appointment or another permitted route to supply under the relevant arrangements would be important, alongside the ability to manage IR35 requirements. Suppliers should be able to provide a clear contractor response for each proposed candidate and a separate company profile, while complying with framework terms and Schedule 5. The incumbent supplier does not prevent other compliant suppliers from being considered when comparable requirements arise.
