Summary of the contracting process

Registers of Scotland procured an Agile Coach through the Government Commercial Agency’s RM6277 Non-Clinical Staffing Collaborative Framework, Lot 2. The requirement is a personnel supply service for a non-clinical professional role, with the detailed scope set out in the Registers of Scotland invitation to quote, role profile and IR35 determination. The framework’s terms and conditions apply to the call-off. Registers of Scotland is the buying organisation. The procurement was managed through the Scottish public procurement framework arrangement, with the service relating to the organisation’s staffing requirement. The successful supplier is Hays Specialist Recruitment Ltd, a specialist recruitment business. The wider framework can be relevant to agencies able to source and supply suitably qualified professional staff for public sector assignments.

This procurement has been awarded following a framework call-off under RM6277 Lot 2. Registers of Scotland selected Hays Specialist Recruitment Ltd. The award value is £176,146.96 excluding VAT for the initial contract term. The agreement is stated to run from 27 July 2026 to 24 January 2027, with a possible six-month extension to 23 July 2027. The award description states that potential spend if the extension is taken would be a maximum of £176,145.96 excluding VAT. Two bids were recorded. Bidders were required to respond to the Registers of Scotland invitation to quote and role profile, provide an IR35 determination, complete an RM6277 Assignment Checklist for each candidate, and submit the company profile separately. Submissions meeting the criteria were to be evaluated fairly.

This award indicates demand from Registers of Scotland for externally sourced Agile Coach capability through a non-clinical staffing framework. Recruitment agencies and specialist staffing suppliers with access to experienced Agile Coaches are the most relevant competitors for similar requirements. Credibility would require understanding public sector framework call-offs and complying with the framework’s terms and conditions, alongside the ability to identify, assess and present suitable candidates efficiently. Suppliers should be prepared to complete an assignment checklist for every proposed candidate, provide a clear company profile as a separate submission, and address IR35 status through the required determination. Experience supplying professional interim or temporary staff, with robust candidate quality controls and public sector recruitment processes, would strengthen a future response to this buyer.
