Summary of the contracting process

The Scottish Courts and Tribunals Service bought recruitment services for a Network Engineer. The requirement is for the provision of an interim IT professional, supporting the Service’s network engineering needs. It was procured as a services contract through the national Interim IT Staff Services framework. Delivery is associated with the Scottish Courts and Tribunals Service in Edinburgh and its wider Scottish operations. The buying organisation is a public-sector courts and tribunals service and central purchasing body. The requirement was organised as a single lot. The relevant business area is specialist IT recruitment and resourcing, particularly the identification and supply of Network Engineer personnel for a public-sector client.

This procurement has been awarded and the contract is active. It used an open procedure as a call-off against the national Interim IT Staff Services framework. Lorien Resourcing Ltd was selected as the supplier. The contract value is £219,960. The contract was signed on 17 April 2026. The initial contract period is 12 months, with a purchaser-held option to extend the total duration to 24 months from the start date. Four bids were recorded for the lot. The procurement covered one lot and was evaluated through the open procedure; the published data does not state separate price, quality or technical weightings.

This award demonstrates demand from the Scottish Courts and Tribunals Service for externally supplied Network Engineer capability through an established national IT staffing framework. Suppliers well placed for similar requirements will be specialist technology recruitment or interim-staff providers with access to experienced network engineering professionals, a reliable candidate pipeline and the capacity to support public-sector resourcing. Credibility will also depend on being able to operate through the relevant framework route, manage recruitment and placement efficiently, and provide personnel suited to a courts and tribunals environment. Firms competing in future should be prepared to evidence dependable delivery, suitable technical screening and the ability to sustain support over an initial engagement with a possible extension.
