Summary of the contracting process

The National Records of Scotland, located at General Register House in Edinburgh, conducted a procurement process for a Temporary Learning and Development Administrator. The procurement, classified under the 'Public Records' category, specifically targeted the Edinburgh region. The process reached the award stage with the contract starting on 27th July 2026 and running until 18th September 2026, with an option for extension until 8th January 2027. This tender was executed through a limited procurement method, bypassing the prior publication of a competitive call, as it was a direct award under the framework RM6219 for Learning & Development. Venesky-Brown Recruitment, a small to medium-sized enterprise (SME) based in Edinburgh, was awarded the contract valued at GBP 32,967, signed on 23rd July 2026. The tender process involved a single bid, highlighting the direct nature of procurement under the framework agreement.

This contract presents significant opportunities for further collaboration within public sector frameworks, especially for SMEs specializing in administrative services within the learning and development sector. Businesses that offer temporary staffing solutions or have expertise in public service administration would find this type of procurement valuable for building their portfolio in governmental contracts. Companies with a local presence in Edinburgh or those targeting growth in Scotland's public services market could equally benefit from engagement in such contract opportunities. This type of procurement reflects an efficient, non-competitive process due to its direct award nature, suitable for businesses that are part of pre-approved supplier frameworks.
