Summary of the contracting process

Highlands and Islands Airports Limited, based in Inverness, has conducted a procurement process for the "Provision of Interim Professional Services" under the aviation industry category. The process, completed on 22 July 2026, involved a contract awarded to Venesky Brown Ltd for providing two interim procurement staff to assist with workload demands. This service was needed in the UKM6 region and forms part of a call-off contract under the Scottish Government Framework SP 22-001. The procurement method was limited, with no prior publication of a competition call, specifically due to its classification as a contract falling outside the directive's application scope. The contract was signed on 14 May 2026, valued at £250,000, and is currently active.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in professional services within the aviation sector, particularly those capable of offering skilled interim personnel. It is ideal for large organisations or those with robust frameworks in place for quick response times and adaptability to the dynamic demands of airport operations. The process offers growth potential, mainly for firms already engaged with government frameworks, as it streamlines entry into new contractual partnerships with public bodies like Highlands and Islands Airports Limited. Additionally, the call-off nature under an established framework allows for efficiencies in procurement, benefiting those well-versed in navigating such structured opportunities.
