Summary of the contracting process

Social Security Scotland procured specialist digital services to build a digital Monetary Value of Fraud and Error and Interventions casework management tool. The requirement covered the provision of digital resources through the OutSystems Dynamic Purchasing System, including the specialist capability needed to develop the system. It was a services procurement delivered in Scotland, for a national public body responsible for social security administration. The work is relevant to digital consultancies, software development firms and technology resource providers with experience supplying development teams for public-sector casework, fraud, error or intervention systems. The selected supplier was Version 1 Solutions Limited, an Edinburgh-based technology company. The procurement comprised one requirement focused on the digital resources and development work needed for the tool.

This procurement has been awarded and the contract is active. Social Security Scotland used an open procedure through the OutSystems Dynamic Purchasing System. Six electronic bids were received, including six from outside the EU and none from SMEs. Version 1 Solutions Limited was awarded the single requirement. The contract value is £981,851.22. The contract was signed on 6 August 2026. The published process is marked complete. The award was made against the OutSystems Services Dynamic Purchasing System and was covered by the Government Procurement Agreement. The available outcome information identifies the successful supplier and signed contract, but does not set out an award date or contract end date. This is a completed competitive procurement rather than an invitation to submit a bid.

For a supplier assessing future work with Social Security Scotland, this award demonstrates demand for specialist OutSystems digital resources to create and support a public-sector casework management tool addressing fraud, error and interventions. A credible competitor would need an experienced software delivery capability, access to suitably skilled digital specialists and practical ability to work through the OutSystems Dynamic Purchasing System. Relevant experience would include designing, building and integrating casework or workflow systems in complex public-service environments, with sufficient delivery capacity for a substantial single requirement. The six-bid competition indicates that suppliers from outside the EU were active in this route, while no SME bids were recorded. Firms able to combine OutSystems expertise with reliable delivery of secure, operationally important government systems would be best placed for comparable demand from this buyer.
