Summary of the contracting process

Social Security Scotland procured Power BI development services for analytical and reporting work in Scotland. The requirement covers designing and developing high-quality Power BI dashboards, reports and semantic models, translating business and user needs into practical reporting solutions. Developers are expected to produce solutions that support effective decision-making and are technically robust, accessible, secure and aligned with organisational data standards. The work is delivered within a multidisciplinary Agile team. The procurement was split into two lots: one for a Power BI Developer and one for Power BI Developers. The service category is business and management consultancy and related services (CPV 79620000), although the substantive requirement is specialist Power BI development for a public social security organisation.

This procurement is complete and has been awarded through an open procedure under the Scottish Government Temporary and Interim Staff Services Frameworks 2023 to 2027. Lot 1, Provision of Power BI Developer, was awarded to Venesky Brown Ltd for £45,376.27, with the contract signed on 13 August 2026. Lot 2, Provision of Power BI Developers, was awarded to ASA Recruitment (Quick Quotes) for £42,750, with the contract signed on 14 August 2026. Both contracts are active. Four electronic bids were received for each lot. The published outcome records the awards against the framework; it does not provide an award date or contract end date.

This award demonstrates demand from Social Security Scotland for specialist Power BI development capacity rather than general recruitment alone. Suppliers positioned for similar work should be able to design performant dashboards, reports and semantic models, and translate business and user requirements into clear analytical products. Credible delivery capability includes experience working in multidisciplinary Agile teams and applying strong data governance, security and accessibility practices. The requirement is suited to Power BI specialists, digital and data consultancies, and staffing businesses able to provide developers who can work within public-sector standards. Competitors should be able to demonstrate both hands-on development capability and the ability to produce reliable reporting solutions that support organisational decision-making.
