Summary of the contracting process

Registers of Scotland commissioned senior developer resource through a temporary and interim IT staffing arrangement. The requirement is for the supply of personnel, including temporary staff, within the Scottish Government’s fourth-generation collaborative IT framework. The buyer is Registers of Scotland, based in Edinburgh. The requirement is supported by an ITQ, a role profile and an IR35 determination confirming that the engagement is outside IR35. This is a specialist IT staffing service rather than a software development project or general recruitment requirement. The selected supplier is responsible for providing the senior developer resource under the applicable framework terms and conditions, including Schedule 5.

The procurement has been awarded through a direct award to a single supplier without competition, using the Scottish Government Temporary and Interim Staff Services Framework 2023–2027. Venesky Brown Ltd was selected as the framework’s highest-ranked supplier for this requirement; one bid was recorded. The award value for the initial contract term is £119,690.88 excluding VAT. The initial contract period is 14 September 2026 to 12 September 2027, with a potential 12-month extension to 12 September 2028. The maximum potential spend if the extension is taken is £239,381.76 excluding VAT. The contract was signed on 8 November 2026 and is recorded as active.

This award demonstrates demand from Registers of Scotland for senior IT development capability supplied through an established public-sector staffing framework. A credible future competitor would need access to the relevant Scottish Government framework route, or a comparable route when the requirement is next sourced, together with the ability to provide suitably experienced senior developers. Suppliers should be able to present clear role-specific evidence, respond to an ITQ and support the buyer’s IR35 assessment requirements, including engagements determined to be outside IR35. Capacity to supply an individual specialist resource for an initial year, with continuity if the requirement extends, would also be commercially relevant. Familiarity with public-sector framework terms and Schedule 5 would strengthen delivery credibility.
