Summary of the contracting process

Social Security Scotland, acting through the Scottish Ministers, procured the services of one Senior Delivery Manager. The requirement is for a temporary senior delivery-management resource supporting the organisation’s work, under the Scottish Government Temporary and Interim Staff Services Frameworks 2023 to 2027. The procurement is classified as a service and relates to the provision of personnel services, with the classification code 79620000. Delivery is in Scotland. The requirement was arranged as a single package rather than multiple separate service areas. The buying organisation is Social Security Scotland, a national public body responsible for administering social security in Scotland. The selected supplier was Venesky Brown Ltd, an Edinburgh-based small and medium-sized enterprise specialising in supplying professional personnel and interim resources.

The procurement has been completed and awarded. It used a direct award against the Scottish Government Temporary and Interim Staff Services Frameworks 2023 to 2027, although the recorded procurement method is an open procedure. Venesky Brown Ltd was selected as the supplier for the single requirement. The contract value is £69,600. The contract was signed on 6 August 2026 and has a term of 5.5 months, with no extension options. One bid was received, submitted electronically; it was recorded as a non-EU foreign bid. The tender was marked complete, and the contract is active. Social Security Scotland therefore secured one Senior Delivery Manager through the framework route for a short, defined assignment.

This award shows demand from Social Security Scotland for senior delivery-management support supplied through the Scottish Government’s Temporary and Interim Staff Services Frameworks. It is particularly relevant to recruitment firms, interim-management providers and consultancies able to supply an individual Senior Delivery Manager for a short public-sector assignment. A credible competitor would need access to suitably senior delivery-management professionals, the ability to match an individual to a defined requirement, and the operational capacity to provide temporary or interim staff through the relevant framework route. The award also demonstrates that the buyer used a single-resource requirement rather than a broad team engagement. Venesky Brown Ltd’s success indicates that an SME supplier can compete for this type of specialised personnel requirement.
