Summary of the contracting process

Social Security Scotland procured interim integration architecture services: one Integration Architect working under the Scottish Government Interim IT Staff Services Framework. The requirement is a specialist information technology staffing service, intended to provide integration architecture capability to support the organisation’s systems and services. The work is for delivery in Scotland. It was structured as a single lot and classified under CPV 79620000, covering the supply of personnel, including temporary staff. The named public-sector buyer is Social Security Scotland, based in Dundee. The requirement concerns an individual interim professional rather than a wider application build, managed service, consultancy programme or general IT staffing package.

This procurement has been completed and awarded following an open procedure under the Scottish Government Interim IT Staff Services Framework. It covered one lot. Venesky Brown Ltd was selected as supplier. The contract was signed on 3 September 2026 and is active, with a value of £316,745. Three bids were received, all electronically; none came from SMEs, and all three were recorded as bids from outside the EU. The published outcome does not provide a separate award date or a contract end date. The available information identifies the requirement and procedure, but does not set out weighted evaluation criteria. The procurement therefore records a completed framework award for one interim Integration Architect, rather than an open opportunity for further bids.

For suppliers that did not win, this award is a clear indication that Social Security Scotland buys individual, senior integration architecture capacity through the Scottish Government’s temporary and interim staff framework. Businesses best placed for a comparable requirement would be able to provide an experienced Integration Architect as an interim resource, quickly match a named specialist to a public-sector assignment and operate through the relevant framework route. The scale is a single-person professional engagement, so firms with a credible bench or established access to suitable architecture specialists are more relevant than providers offering only broad workforce volumes. Evidence of delivering integration architecture assignments for government or similarly complex organisations would strengthen a future response.
