Summary of the contracting process

The Scottish Courts and Tribunals Service procured recruitment services for a Risk Analyst. The requirement is for the provision of an individual risk analyst, supporting the organisation’s public-service operations. The service is classified as recruitment and employment placement services (CPV 79600000). Delivery is associated with the Scottish Courts and Tribunals Service in Edinburgh, Scotland. The procurement was made against the national Interim IT Staff Services framework, indicating a requirement for interim professional staffing rather than a general recruitment campaign. This opportunity is relevant to recruitment agencies and specialist staffing providers able to source and supply risk-analysis professionals for a public-sector client, particularly those operating through, or seeking access to, relevant public-sector frameworks and call-off arrangements.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following an open procedure. Four bids were received for the single lot, and Lorien Resourcing Ltd was selected. The contract was signed on 16 June 2026 and is active, with a value of £219,960. The initial contract period is 12 months, with the purchaser holding an option to extend it to a maximum total duration of 24 months from the start date. The award was made against the Interim IT Staff Services – National framework. The process was covered by the Government Procurement Agreement. The available outcome shows one supplier for the requirement; the award was not divided between multiple suppliers or lots.

This award demonstrates established demand from the Scottish Courts and Tribunals Service for specialist interim recruitment supporting risk-analysis functions. A credible future competitor would need to identify and qualify suitable Risk Analyst candidates, manage recruitment and placement, and provide reliable professional staffing for a public-sector environment. Experience supplying interim IT or analytical personnel through framework call-offs would be directly relevant, as would the operational capacity to support an initial engagement and a possible longer assignment. The competition attracted four bids, showing that suppliers need a clear route to market and the ability to compete through an open framework-based process. Recruitment businesses with public-sector delivery experience, candidate networks in risk and technology, and dependable contract management capability are the closest fit.
