Summary of the contracting process

Registers of Scotland (RoS) procured non-clinical staffing for a Python Engineer role through its Government Commercial Agency non-clinical staffing framework. The requirement was for an individual engineering assignment, with details set out in a role profile and RoS invitation to quote. The procurement concerned temporary personnel rather than a broader software or IT services contract. RoS is based in Edinburgh; the procurement information does not identify a specific work location.

The procurement has been awarded to Venesky Brown Ltd as a framework call-off. The contract was signed on 10 May 2026. Its initial term runs from 19 October 2026 to 18 April 2027, with a possible six-month extension to 18 October 2027. The awarded value for the initial term is £68,327.04 excluding VAT; the stated maximum potential spend including the extension is £136,654.08 excluding VAT. Two bids were recorded. The source describes fair evaluation of submissions meeting the criteria, but does not set out the evaluation criteria or eligibility requirements. The award was made under the GCA RM6277 Non Clinical Staffing framework, Lot 3, whose terms and conditions apply.

This award shows demand from Registers of Scotland for temporary Python engineering capability through its established non-clinical staffing framework. Venesky Brown Ltd was selected from a process in which two bids were recorded, so suppliers aiming to compete when this specific requirement next comes to market would need to provide credible Python engineering candidates and be able to supply them through the relevant framework route. The requirement called for candidate-specific assignment checklists and company profiles, with an IR35 determination classifying the role as outside IR35. These are practical indicators of the submission and engagement requirements for comparable RoS assignments. The work is a single specialist staffing requirement, rather than a large, multi-disciplinary technology programme.
