Summary of the contracting process

Registers of Scotland procured a non-clinical staffing service: a Technical Lead for a vacant, newly created role. The requirement was for personnel rather than a wider staffing programme, and was sourced through the Government Commercial Agency’s collaborative framework for non-clinical staffing, Lot 3. The role profile, invitation to quote and IR35 determination describe the work and engagement arrangements. Registers of Scotland is the buying organisation; the supplier is based in Edinburgh, and the buyer is based in Edinburgh. The procurement’s classification is for the supply of personnel, including temporary staff (CPV 79620000).

The procurement has been awarded and the contract is active. Sanderson Government and Defence was selected as supplier following a call-off under the Government Commercial Agency’s RM6277 Non-Clinical Staffing framework. The award date is not stated. The initial contract period runs from 28 September 2026 to 28 March 2027, with an option to extend for a further six months, to 27 September 2027. The initial-term award value is £68,118.42 excluding VAT; the stated maximum spend if the extension is taken is £136,236.84 excluding VAT. Eight bids were recorded. The role was evaluated fairly against the stated criteria, but the specific evaluation criteria are not detailed in the supplied information. Framework terms and conditions apply.

This award shows that Registers of Scotland uses the Government Commercial Agency’s non-clinical staffing framework to source specialist personnel, including a Technical Lead for a new role. Staffing suppliers already positioned on the relevant framework, and able to provide suitably experienced technical leadership candidates, are best placed to compete when this buyer next has a comparable requirement. The successful route here was a framework call-off rather than a standalone tender, so suppliers would need access to that route and the ability to work within its terms. The role also involved an IR35 determination classified as outside the rules, making familiarity with public-sector contractor engagement and the associated assessment relevant. The eight recorded bids indicate competition for this requirement.
