Summary of the contracting process

Registers of Scotland procured non-clinical staffing services for a developer working on land registration. The requirement was for a vacant, new role supporting the organisation’s land-registration work. It was arranged through the Government Commercial Agency’s RM6277 Non Clinical Staffing Collaborative Framework Agreement, Lot 3, for temporary and permanent personnel supply. The buyer is Registers of Scotland, based at Meadowbank House in Edinburgh. The procurement concerns the provision of an individual staffing resource rather than construction, software supply or general consultancy. Requirement details were set out through the Registers of Scotland invitation to quote, the role profile and an IR35 determination. Suppliers were also required to provide an assignment checklist for each candidate and submit their company profile separately.

This procurement has been awarded. Venesky Brown Ltd was selected through a framework call-off, following eight bids. The award was made against the GCA Clinical and Non Clinical Temporary and Permanent Staff framework. The initial contract term runs from 21 September 2026 to 21 March 2027, with a possible six-month extension to 21 September 2027. The initial awarded value is £59,766.78 excluding VAT; if the extension is taken, maximum potential spend is £119,533.56 excluding VAT. The contract was signed on 9 February 2026 and is recorded as active. Suppliers had to meet the requirement criteria, with compliant submissions evaluated fairly. Candidate assignment checklists and separate company profiles formed part of the submission requirements.

This award indicates a defined requirement within Registers of Scotland for specialist non-clinical staffing supporting land registration development work. Suppliers seeking to compete for a similar requirement would need access to suitable developer candidates, an understanding of land-registration environments and the ability to supply personnel through the relevant Government Commercial Agency framework route. Credibility would also depend on presenting candidates against a clear role profile, completing the required assignment checklist for each candidate and providing a separate company profile. Knowledge of IR35 determinations would be important when proposing staff. The eight bids show that this type of framework call-off can attract substantial competition, so recruiters would need a focused candidate pipeline and disciplined, compliant submissions.
