Summary of the contracting process

The Scottish Courts and Tribunals Service procured recruitment services to provide a Business Analyst. The requirement covers sourcing and supplying an interim business analysis professional for the organisation’s public-sector work. It was a single requirement under the national Interim IT Staff Services framework, delivered for the Scottish Courts and Tribunals Service in Scotland. The buying organisation is based at Saughton House in Edinburgh, and the relevant service area is business analyst recruitment rather than the delivery of a wider technology implementation. This will suit recruitment agencies and specialist resourcing firms with access to experienced business analysts, particularly those supplying interim IT personnel to public bodies. The procurement was categorised as services, with CPV classification 79600000 for recruitment and personnel-placement services.

This procurement has been completed and awarded through an open procedure under the Interim IT Staff Services national framework. Lorien Resourcing Ltd was selected for the single lot. The contract was signed on 13 May 2026 and is active, with a value of £184,000. The requirement began as an initial 12-month engagement, with the purchaser holding an option to extend the total contract duration to 24 months. Four bids were recorded for the lot. The available outcome data does not set out a separate award date or an evaluation weighting, but confirms the completed award, selected supplier, contract value and framework route. The process was covered by the Government Procurement Agreement. Review proceedings are subject to Scottish procurement law and stated time limits, including a general 30-day period from when the economic operator knew or should have known of the alleged breach.

For a supplier that did not win, this award demonstrates demand from the Scottish Courts and Tribunals Service for specialist recruitment of interim IT professionals, focused on business analysis. A credible competitor would need an established candidate network, demonstrable ability to identify and vet business analysts, and the capacity to supply suitable personnel through a public-sector framework. Experience supporting government or other regulated organisations would help, particularly where candidates must understand structured requirements, stakeholder needs and service delivery in a court and tribunals environment. The four-bid competition indicates that the requirement attracted several potential providers, while the absence of recorded SME bids suggests that firms should be prepared to meet the expectations and administrative demands associated with a national framework call-off. Strong resourcing processes and reliable candidate fulfilment would be central to competing effectively when this buyer next sources the requirement.
