Summary of the contracting process

Scottish Courts and Tribunals Service commissioned recruitment services for a senior infrastructure and cloud engineer specialising in security. The requirement is for an individual or placement providing senior-level infrastructure, cloud and security engineering capability, rather than for construction, equipment supply or a general IT support service. The work is associated with Scottish Courts and Tribunals Service operations in Edinburgh and across Scotland. It is classified as recruitment and employment-placement services (CPV 79600000). The buyer is a Scottish public-sector organisation and central purchasing body. The requirement was made through the national Interim IT Staff Services framework, so suppliers familiar with public-sector technology staffing and framework call-offs would be the closest commercial fit.

This procurement is complete and has been awarded following an open procedure and a call-off against the national Interim IT Staff Services framework. There was one lot. Lorien Resourcing Ltd was selected as supplier. The contract was signed on 17 April 2026 and is valued at £258,960. The initial contract period is 12 months, with the buyer holding a sole option to extend it to a maximum total duration of 24 months from the start date. Four bids were recorded for the requirement, with none identified as bids from small or medium-sized enterprises. The published outcome records an active contract and an award covering the full requirement for the senior infrastructure and cloud security engineer recruitment service.

This outcome is relevant to recruitment agencies and specialist technology staffing firms able to source senior infrastructure and cloud engineers with a strong security focus. A credible competitor would need access to experienced candidates who can operate across cloud and infrastructure environments, understand security requirements, and meet the standards expected by a public-sector courts and tribunals organisation. The buyer’s use of a national interim IT staffing framework shows that framework participation and the ability to respond through an established public procurement route are important. Suppliers should also be able to manage a senior specialist placement, support the buyer throughout the engagement, and demonstrate reliable delivery for requirements that may run beyond the initial term.
