Summary of the contracting process

The Scottish Courts and Tribunals Service bought recruitment services to provide a Power Platform Developer. The requirement is for specialist interim information technology staffing, supporting the organisation’s public court and tribunal services. The work is associated with the service’s operations in Scotland, with the buying organisation based in Edinburgh. The procurement falls within business and personnel recruitment services (CPV 79600000). It was a single requirement rather than a multi-lot programme, and the selected supplier was required to provide a developer through a recruitment arrangement rather than deliver a broader software platform or general IT service. This is relevant to recruitment agencies and specialist technology staffing businesses with access to suitably experienced Microsoft Power Platform developers.

The procurement is complete and was awarded through an open procedure under the national Interim IT Staff Services framework. Lorien Resourcing Ltd was selected for the requirement. The contract value is £245,960 including the stated currency of GBP, and the contract was signed on 30 January 2026. It covers an initial 12-month period, with the purchaser holding an option to extend the total duration to 24 months. One lot was awarded. Three bids were received, including no bids from SMEs. The award was for recruitment services for a Power Platform Developer, evaluated through the framework call-off route. The contract is recorded as active.

For a supplier that did not win this award, the procurement provides a clear indication of demand from the Scottish Courts and Tribunals Service for specialist Microsoft Power Platform development capability supplied through an interim staffing route. A credible competitor would need strong access to developers who can work in public-sector environments, understand business applications and low-code Microsoft technologies, and begin assignments through a managed recruitment service. Recruitment firms with an established technology candidate network, effective screening and vetting, and the capacity to support a sustained specialist placement would be well placed. The three-bid competition also shows that future competition may include established staffing providers rather than only software development consultancies.
