Summary of the contracting process

The Scottish Government bought interim legal staffing services through a call-off from a framework. The requirement was associated with the Marine Directorate and delivery was in Scotland, with the procurement record identifying the Scottish Government as the buyer. The service falls within the category of temporary personnel services, including temporary staff supplied for legal and related administrative work. The named requirement was “interim legal staff - MVL”. This was a service contract rather than a purchase of goods or construction works. The arrangement was managed as a single requirement, covering the supply of interim legal personnel to support the Scottish Government’s public-sector work.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded. It used an open procedure and was a call-off from a framework. Service Care Solutions Ltd was selected for the requirement, and the contract was signed on 24 July 2026. The awarded contract value is £104,166.48. The framework call-off allowed a possible three-month extension. One bid was recorded, from an SME, and it was submitted electronically. The available outcome shows one supplier for the single requirement. The record identifies the contract as active and the procurement as covered by the Government Procurement Agreement. No award date or contract end date is provided in the procurement outcome.

This award demonstrates demand from the Scottish Government for suppliers able to provide interim legal staff through an established framework route. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need access to suitably qualified legal personnel, the ability to respond quickly to public-sector staffing needs, and the operational capacity to manage placements and service delivery. Experience supplying temporary or interim legal professionals would be directly relevant, particularly where staff must work within government processes and support a specialist public body. The successful supplier was an SME, showing that a smaller staffing business can compete for this type of requirement when it has the appropriate framework access, candidate network and delivery capability.
