Summary of the contracting process

The Scottish Government procured interim professional staff services: one senior procurement specialist supplied through the Scottish Procurement Interim Professional Staff Services Framework Agreement. This is a professional procurement resource rather than a goods supply or construction requirement, intended to provide senior-level procurement expertise on an interim basis. The requirement sits within general public services and is classified under CPV 79620000, covering the supply of personnel including temporary staff. The Scottish Government acted as both the buying organisation and central purchasing body. The requirement was structured as a framework call-off for a single senior procurement specialist, with the service associated with the Scottish Government’s procurement operations in Scotland.

This procurement is complete and has been awarded following an open procedure. It was a single-lot call-off from the Scottish Procurement Interim Professional Staff Services Framework Agreement. Venesky Brown Ltd was selected as supplier. The contract was signed on 5 August 2026 and has an active value of £225,000. The process received 13 electronic bids; none were identified as bids from small or medium-sized enterprises, and all 13 were recorded as bids from outside the European Union. The available procurement record does not state an award date or contract duration. The requirement was covered by the Government Procurement Agreement, and the contract remains active following the award.

For suppliers that did not win, this award demonstrates demand from the Scottish Government for senior interim procurement capability delivered through an established professional staff framework. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need to provide an experienced senior procurement specialist who can join an organisation quickly, operate independently and support public-sector procurement activity at a strategic level. Familiarity with Scottish Government or wider public procurement environments would be relevant, as would the capacity to supply suitably senior personnel through a framework call-off route. The competition attracted 13 bids, indicating that suppliers must present a clear, credible resourcing offer and demonstrate dependable access to appropriate professional staff.
