PCS Notice - Quick Quote Award
Summary of the contracting process

Registers of Scotland procured temporary and interim IT personnel for a Security Engineer role in IT Security. The requirement was raised through the Scottish Government Temporary and Interim Staff (IT) 4th Generation Collaborative Framework Agreement, with the framework’s terms and Schedule 5 applying to any appointment. The procurement is for professional services rather than goods or construction, and is classified under CPV 79620000, covering the supply of temporary staff. The role requirement was defined through the Registers of Scotland invitation to quote, role profile and IR35 determination. Suppliers were required to respond for each proposed candidate and provide a separate company profile. The work is for Registers of Scotland, whose organisation is based in Edinburgh.

This procurement has been awarded. Registers of Scotland used a quick-quote competition under the Scottish Government Temporary and Interim Staff (IT) 4th Generation Collaborative Framework Agreement. The tender period ran from 9 July 2026 to 3 July 2027. One bid was recorded. Harvey Nash Limited was awarded the requirement for £60,990, with the award recorded against the Security Engineer – IT Security role. The associated contract is active. The buyer stated that submissions meeting the criteria would be evaluated fairly, and identified an incumbent supplier while encouraging submissions from all framework suppliers. The award was made through the framework route rather than as a standalone open-market procurement.

This award shows demand from Registers of Scotland for specialist IT security engineering capability delivered through an established Scottish Government temporary and interim staffing framework. Suppliers well placed for a future requirement would need access to suitable security engineering contractors, the ability to assess and present individual candidates against a detailed role profile, and experience supplying interim or temporary IT professionals to public bodies. They would also need to work within framework terms, complete the required contractor response for each candidate, provide a separate company profile, and address the applicable IR35 determination. Credibility will depend on demonstrable candidate quality, reliable recruitment and mobilisation, compliant administration, and the capacity to compete for a single specialist role rather than only large multi-resource programmes.
