Summary of the contracting process

Social Security Scotland procured interim data modelling services to support its analytical and reporting needs. The appointed Data Modeller is responsible for designing, developing and maintaining high-quality data models and datamarts, translating business requirements into scalable, performant and well-structured data structures. The role supports efficient use of Power BI and other reporting tools, and involves working within a multidisciplinary Agile delivery team. The postholder must ensure that data structures are robust, properly governed and aligned with organisational data standards and architecture principles. This is a data and analytics services requirement, classified under CPV 79620000 for the supply of personnel, delivered for Social Security Scotland in East Central Scotland.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded to ASA Recruitment (Quick Quotes), following a limited procedure without prior publication of a call for competition. Staff were selected after evaluating applications from employment agencies registered on the Scottish Government Interim Staff Framework. Eight bids were received, including two from SMEs, and all bids were submitted electronically. The contract was signed on 7 August 2026 and has a value of £88,290. The contract is active and includes an option for an additional period of up to 12 months. The evaluation was based on applications submitted through the framework route. This was a single requirement, with no separate awards recorded.

For a supplier that did not win, this award demonstrates demand from Social Security Scotland for specialist interim data modelling capability within an Agile delivery environment. Credible competitors would need practitioners who can design and maintain governed data models and datamarts, convert business needs into scalable structures, and support reliable consumption through Power BI and comparable reporting tools. Experience of analytical and reporting environments, data architecture principles, organisational standards and multidisciplinary delivery teams would be important. Suppliers would also need a route to provide suitably qualified interim staff through the relevant Scottish Government framework or an equivalent approved procurement route. The competition attracted eight electronic applications, indicating interest from a broad supplier market and the importance of presenting strong, relevant candidate applications.
