Summary of the contracting process

The Scottish Courts and Tribunals Service procured recruitment services to provide a Cloud Infrastructure Engineer. The requirement is for specialist information technology recruitment, supplying an engineer to support the organisation’s cloud infrastructure rather than delivering a broader IT staffing service. The procurement was managed by the Scottish Courts and Tribunals Service, a public-sector central purchasing body based in Edinburgh, for work in Scotland. It was made as a call-off against the national Interim IT Staff Services framework. The requirement was organised as a single lot and is classified under CPV 79600000, covering recruitment and personnel-placement services. This opportunity therefore concerns suppliers able to source and place suitably qualified cloud infrastructure engineering personnel for a Scottish public-sector environment.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following an open procedure and a framework call-off. Lorien Resourcing Ltd was selected for the single lot. The contract was signed on 30 January 2026 and has a value of £299,000. It covers an initial 12-month period, with the purchaser holding a sole option to extend the arrangement to a maximum total duration of 24 months from its start date. Three bids were received. The published outcome identifies the procurement as an award against the national Interim IT Staff Services framework. The requirement was evaluated through the open procurement route, with the award covering recruitment services for one Cloud Infrastructure Engineer. The contract is recorded as active.

This award indicates demand from the Scottish Courts and Tribunals Service for specialist recruitment support focused on cloud infrastructure engineering. Suppliers competing for a future requirement of this type would need a credible network of cloud infrastructure professionals and the ability to identify, assess and place candidates for public-sector assignments. Relevant capability includes understanding cloud platforms, infrastructure operations, security-conscious environments and the practical requirements of an enterprise IT service. A strong supplier would also need reliable recruitment delivery, candidate vetting, workforce coordination and the capacity to support a substantial single specialist engagement. Experience supplying interim IT staff through a public-sector framework or similar regulated buying route would be commercially relevant, as would evidence of successfully delivering comparable technical placements for large organisations.
