Summary of the contracting process

Disclosure Scotland procured back-end software engineering services through its national Scottish Government Interim IT Staff Framework. The requirement was a call-off for a Back-End Software Engineer, with delivery based at Disclosure Scotland, 1 Pacific Quay, Glasgow. The buying organisation is Disclosure Scotland, which also acts as a central purchasing body. This is a professional IT services requirement rather than a software product, construction project or general consultancy commission. The procurement used the public-service classification for computer and related services (CPV 79620000). The work is associated with Disclosure Scotland’s operational technology needs and was structured as a single requirement for an interim back-end engineering resource.

This procurement is complete and has been awarded following an open procedure and a call-off from the Scottish Government Interim IT Staff Framework. Harvey Nash was selected as supplier. The contract is valued at £242,976 and was signed on 22 July 2026; its status is active. The requirement was a single lot, with an option for an extension up to a maximum period of 17 months. Six bids were received, all electronically; none came from SMEs and all six were recorded as bids from outside the EU. The award was covered by the Government Procurement Agreement. The published outcome identifies the winning supplier but does not provide a separate award date.

For a supplier that did not win this procurement, the award demonstrates demand from Disclosure Scotland for interim back-end software engineering capacity delivered through the Scottish Government’s national Interim IT Staff Framework. The relevant commercial route is therefore framework call-off work, rather than a standalone unrestricted contract. A credible competitor would need to hold an appropriate place on the framework or work with an organisation that does, and be able to provide an experienced back-end software engineer for a public-sector operational environment. The response field also appears competitive: six electronic bids were received, with no SME bids recorded. Suppliers able to mobilise suitable interim IT personnel and compete effectively through this framework are best placed for comparable requirements.
