Summary of the contracting process

National Records of Scotland bought temporary learning and development administration support for its Edinburgh operations. The requirement was for a Temporary Learning and Development Administrator, covering administrative work within the organisation’s learning and development function. The procurement was managed by National Records of Scotland, a public records body based in Edinburgh. The work was delivered in Edinburgh. The requirement was treated under the classification for education and training equipment, although the practical subject of the procurement was temporary professional staff support rather than the supply of physical goods. It formed one requirement under the Temp. & Interim Professional Staff framework, with learning and development administration as the specific role. The selected supplier was Venesky-Brown Recruitment, an Edinburgh-based small and medium-sized enterprise specialising in recruitment.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded. National Records of Scotland used a limited procedure: a direct award without publishing a competition notice, under the RM6219 Learning & Development framework and the Temp. & Interim Professional Staff framework. Venesky-Brown Recruitment was selected for the requirement, and one bid was recorded, submitted electronically by an SME. The contract was signed on 23 July 2026 and is active. Its value is £32,967. The service period runs from 27 July 2026 to 18 September 2026, with an option described in the requirement to extend to 8 January 2027. The procurement was covered by the Government Procurement Agreement and was classified as outside the scope of the relevant directive. No separate award date is recorded.

This award provides a clear example of demand from National Records of Scotland for short-term learning and development administration capacity in Edinburgh. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need to supply an administrator able to support a public-sector learning and development function on a temporary basis, with recruitment, rapid mobilisation and placement management capability. The route used is particularly relevant to suppliers already appointed to, or able to access, the applicable professional staff frameworks, since the buyer made a direct award rather than running an open competition. The single recorded bid also shows that this requirement was fulfilled through a focused framework route. Recruitment agencies and temporary staffing providers with experience placing administrative personnel into public bodies are the closest commercial comparators.
