Summary of the contracting process

Registers of Scotland procured temporary or interim information technology personnel for an AD Identity Engineer role. The requirement was raised under the Scottish Government Temporary and Interim IT Staff – 4th Generation Collaborative Framework Agreement, with the framework terms, including Schedule 5, applying to the call-off. The procurement falls within personnel supply services (CPV 79620000). The buyer is Registers of Scotland, based in Edinburgh. The requirement was defined through the organisation’s ITQ, a role profile and an IR35 determination confirming the engagement is outside IR35. The work concerns identity engineering within an IT environment, so it is relevant to specialist recruitment agencies, framework suppliers and technology staffing businesses able to provide suitably experienced Active Directory identity professionals.

This procurement has been awarded through a framework call-off, and the contract is active. Lorien Resourcing Ltd was selected as supplier after one bid was recorded. The initial contract period runs from 7 September 2026 to 7 March 2027, with a possible six-month extension to 7 September 2027. The awarded value for the initial term is £62,700 excluding VAT; if the extension is taken, maximum potential spend is £125,400 excluding VAT. The tender process was scheduled from 9 July 2026 to 3 July 2027. Evaluation was based on meeting the stated criteria, with submissions assessed fairly. The procurement used the Scottish Government Temporary and Interim IT Staff – 4th Generation Collaborative Framework Agreement.

For businesses that did not win this call-off, the award demonstrates demand from Registers of Scotland for specialist identity engineering capability supplied through the Scottish Government’s IT temporary and interim staff framework. A credible competitor would need access to experienced Active Directory identity engineers, the ability to recruit or supply personnel for a defined public-sector assignment, and familiarity with framework call-off terms and Schedule 5. Suppliers should also be able to interpret role profiles and support engagements assessed as outside IR35. Recruitment agencies, specialist IT staffing providers and framework participants with established public-sector delivery processes are best placed to compete when this type of requirement returns. The award also indicates that the buyer will evaluate compliant submissions despite an incumbent supplier.
