PCS Notice - Quick Quote Award
Summary of the contracting process

The Scottish Government commissioned independent assurance of SEA’s progress against agreed grant conditions. The work is a financial and evaluation consultancy review, intended to provide evidence for Ministers to consider whether conditions for releasing a second tranche of grant funding have been met, or whether sufficient progress has been made. The buyer is the Scottish Government. Glasgow is the buyer’s location; the place where the review work is delivered is not identified in the procurement details.

The procurement has been awarded to FRP Advisory, and the contract is recorded as active. It was awarded directly to a single supplier without competition. The award value is £19,299.85. One bid is recorded. The review concerns SEA’s progress from April to September 2026 against the grant conditions, and is intended to inform the decision on the second tranche of funding. No award date or contract-period dates are stated in the available details.

For future work of this kind, a credible supplier would need to provide independent assurance and assess progress against agreed grant conditions. Relevant strengths include financial consultancy and evaluation, the ability to examine evidence of progress, and the capacity to produce findings that can support a public-sector funding decision. The selected supplier’s appointment shows demand for a focused review linked to grant release, rather than general advisory support. Suppliers with experience evaluating whether funded organisations have met conditions, and presenting clear evidence for senior government consideration, would be well placed when this specific requirement returns to the Scottish Government.
