Summary of the contracting process

Registers of Scotland procured non-clinical staffing services for a front-end developer in a customer-facing role. The requirement was raised through the Government Commercial Agency’s RM6277 Non Clinical Staffing collaborative framework, Lot 3, formerly operated by Crown Commercial Services. The work is a personnel supply service rather than a construction, goods or consultancy requirement, classified under CPV 79620000 for supplying personnel, including temporary staff. The role requirement was set out through Registers of Scotland’s invitation to quote, a role profile and an IR35 determination. Suppliers were also required to complete an RM6277 assignment checklist for each candidate and provide their company profile as a separate document.

This procurement has been awarded through a framework call-off, with Hays Specialist Recruitment Ltd selected from three bids. The award was signed on 8 May 2026. The initial contract period runs from 24 August 2026 to 21 February 2027, with a possible six-month extension to 23 August 2027. The awarded value for the initial term is £59,850 excluding VAT; if the extension is taken, maximum potential spend is £119,700 excluding VAT. The framework terms and conditions apply. The requirement stated that there was an incumbent supplier, but submissions meeting the criteria were to be evaluated fairly. The award is recorded as an active contract.

For future requirements of this type, credible suppliers will need access to front-end developers able to work in customer-facing roles, together with the recruitment capacity to identify and present suitable candidates. Experience supplying non-clinical staffing through public sector frameworks, particularly RM6277 Lot 3, would be directly relevant because the buyer uses that route for this requirement. Suppliers must be able to complete the framework assignment checklist for each candidate, provide a clear company profile separately, and address the role profile and IR35 determination. The three bids show that this is a competitive staffing requirement, while the incumbent supplier indicates that continuity and an understanding of the buyer’s environment may strengthen future submissions.
