Summary of the contracting process

The Scottish Courts and Tribunals Service procured recruitment services to provide a DevOps Engineer. The requirement is for a specialist recruitment supplier to source and provide an appropriately qualified DevOps professional for the public courts and tribunals service. The buying organisation is based at Saughton House, Edinburgh, and the requirement is associated with delivery in the surrounding Scottish public-service area. This is a services procurement under the public-sector recruitment classification (CPV 79600000). It was placed through the national Interim IT Staff Services framework, making it relevant to recruitment agencies and staffing providers with access to interim technology professionals, particularly those able to identify and supply DevOps engineering talent for a government or other regulated public-sector environment.

The procurement has been completed and the contract is active. It used an open procedure as an award against the Interim IT Staff Services national framework. There was one completed lot covering the DevOps Engineer recruitment requirement. Lorien Resourcing Ltd was selected as supplier. The contract was signed on 5 February 2026 and is valued at £293,800. The initial contract period is 12 months, with the purchaser holding an option to extend the total duration to 24 months from the start date. Three bids were recorded for the lot. The award was made under the framework route, with the process covered by the Government Procurement Agreement.

For a supplier that did not win, this award demonstrates substantial demand from the Scottish Courts and Tribunals Service for externally sourced DevOps engineering capability. A credible competitor would need strong specialist recruitment expertise, reliable access to experienced DevOps candidates and the ability to manage interim technology placements for a public-sector client. Experience supplying technical staff through a framework agreement would be important, as would the operational capacity to handle a sizeable single-role requirement and support delivery throughout the engagement. Providers should be able to understand DevOps skills and distinguish suitable engineering candidates, while meeting the governance, documentation and service standards expected when working with a public body. The successful bidder was a large recruitment business, indicating the scale and organisational capacity regarded as suitable for this requirement.
