Summary of the contracting process

Disclosure Scotland bought interim IT staffing services for a Developer – Team Lead role. The requirement covered the provision of a developer who could act as team lead, delivered for Disclosure Scotland in Glasgow. It was procured as a service under the national Interim IT Staff Services framework. Disclosure Scotland, based at 1 Pacific Quay in Glasgow, was the buying organisation and central purchasing body. The procurement was for one requirement rather than a set of separately described service areas. The work is relevant to recruitment agencies, IT staffing businesses and suppliers providing interim software development professionals for public-sector teams. The selected supplier was an SME recruitment business, indicating that the requirement was suitable for a specialist staffing provider rather than only a large systems integrator.

This procurement has been awarded and the contract is active. Disclosure Scotland used an open procedure under the Interim IT Staff Services framework. ASA Recruitment was selected for the Developer – Team Lead requirement. The contract was signed on 22 July 2026 and has a value of £288,000. The lot description allows an extension up to a maximum total period of 17 months. Ten bids were received, including three from SMEs; all bids were submitted electronically. The process was evaluated as a completed award under a single lot. The available outcome records identify the appointed supplier and contract value, but do not provide a separate award date or a detailed scoring breakdown. The contract is covered by the Government Procurement Agreement.

For suppliers that did not win, this award is a clear example of Disclosure Scotland’s demand for interim IT staff through a framework route. A credible competitor for the same requirement would need to recruit, assess and place an interim software developer capable of taking team-lead responsibility, and to manage the associated staffing and public-sector supply arrangements. Recruitment agencies and specialist IT personnel providers are the closest fit, particularly SMEs with access to suitable development professionals and experience supplying temporary or interim staff. The winning supplier’s profile shows that a specialist recruitment business can compete successfully, rather than the requirement being limited to a major technology consultancy. Businesses tracking Disclosure Scotland should use this award as evidence of demand for senior interim development capability.
