Summary of the contracting process

Highlands and Islands Airports Limited procured interim professional services to support increased workload demand. The requirement was for two interim procurement staff, working in support of the organisation’s procurement activity. This is a professional services opportunity focused on supplying experienced temporary procurement personnel rather than delivering physical works or goods. The buying organisation is an aviation body headquartered at Inverness Airport and responsible for airport operations across the Highlands and Islands. The service was procured under the Interim Professional Services Framework SP-22-001, indicating that suppliers needed to provide personnel suitable for a framework call-off and able to respond to the buyer’s operational workload requirements. The relevant business area is interim procurement consultancy and staffing.

The procurement is complete and the contract is active. Venesky Brown Ltd was awarded the single requirement through a limited call-off under Scottish Government Framework SP-22-001, using an award procedure without prior publication of a competition notice. One bid was recorded, and the successful bid was submitted electronically by an SME. The contract was signed on 14 May 2026 for £250,000 including the stated currency, GBP. The award relates to the provision of two interim procurement staff. The published outcome identifies Venesky Brown Ltd as the selected supplier. The available procurement record does not set out a contract end date or a separate award date, and does not provide weighted evaluation criteria beyond the framework call-off route.

This outcome shows demand from an aviation organisation for additional procurement capacity supplied through an established public-sector framework. Suppliers well placed for comparable work would be able to provide two suitably experienced interim procurement professionals, quickly integrate them into an airport-sector buyer’s team and manage workload pressure without extensive mobilisation. Credibility would come from a strong track record in public procurement, practical knowledge of framework call-offs and the ability to supply qualified staff at short notice. Firms should also be able to demonstrate reliable personnel management, continuity of service and experience supporting complex operational organisations. The single recorded bid and SME participation indicate that this type of requirement can be accessible to specialist interim staffing and procurement consultancies with the relevant framework position and delivery capacity.
