Summary of the contracting process

Registers of Scotland awarded a non-clinical staffing service for a senior developer in a customer-facing role. The requirement is for personnel supply rather than software delivery as a standalone works contract, and sits within the Government Commercial Agency’s RM6277 Non Clinical Staffing Collaborative Framework, Lot 2. The work is for Registers of Scotland in Edinburgh. The requirement was supported by an invitation to quote, a role profile and an IR35 determination, with framework terms applying to the call-off. The selected supplier is Morgan Philips Executive Search, based in Motherwell. The procurement concerns specialist technology staffing for a public-sector organisation, particularly the sourcing and provision of a senior developer able to work directly with customers or service users.

This procurement has been awarded through a call-off against the RM6277 Non Clinical Staffing Framework, Lot 2, rather than as an open standalone tender. Morgan Philips Executive Search was selected from six bids. The initial contract term runs from 10 August 2026 to 8 August 2027, with a possible 12-month extension to 7 August 2028. The awarded value for the initial term is £115,140 excluding VAT. If the extension is taken, maximum potential spend is £230,280 excluding VAT. Bidders were required to complete an RM6277 Assignment Checklist for each candidate and provide a company profile as a separate document. Submissions meeting the stated criteria were to be evaluated fairly. The contract is recorded as active.

For suppliers that did not win, this award shows that Registers of Scotland uses the GCA RM6277 framework to source senior, customer-facing development capability through a staffing call-off. A credible future competitor would need access to suitably experienced senior developers, the ability to assess candidates against a defined role profile, and the capacity to supply personnel for a substantial public-sector assignment. Suppliers would also need to work within the framework’s terms, complete the required assignment checklist for each candidate, provide a clear company profile separately, and address the relevant IR35 determination. Experience supplying specialist technology personnel, presenting strong candidate evidence and supporting customer-facing roles would be directly relevant when this requirement returns to the market.
