The procurement process was conducted under the Scottish Government Temporary and Interim Staff (IT) - 4th Gen - Collaborative Framework Agreement. With a central office based in Edinburgh, the project specifically seeks an AD Identity Engineer. The tender commenced on 9th July 2026, with the initial contract term ending on 3rd July 2027, and there is an option to extend for an additional six months. This award was finalised on 4th August 2026, with the total estimated contract value standing at £62,700 excluding VAT, initially, but potentially rising to a maximum of £125,400 if extended. The Registers of Scotland, located at Meadowbank House, Edinburgh, led the procurement effort.
