Summary of the contracting process

Social Security Scotland bought specialist digital services for its Social Programme Management (SPM) systems through Lot 2 of the SPM Architecture, Technical Design, Development and Governance requirement. The work covers SPM business and technical design, including impact assessments, configuration and customisation design, governance, code reviews, technical design assurance, security role management, organisational modelling, batch-scheduling governance, and critical-defect troubleshooting. Required service roles include SPM business analysts, developers for build, configuration and coding, technical architects, business architects and technical leads. The supplier may also provide additional SPM roles and ad hoc services within scope as the organisation’s needs change. Delivery is for Social Security Scotland in Scotland, with the buying organisation based in Dundee. The procurement is for services supporting digital delivery and organisational change.

This procurement has been awarded and the contract is active. Social Security Scotland used an open procedure within its SPM Dynamic Purchasing System. One electronic bid was received, from an SME, and ENIQUE IT SOLUTIONS LIMITED was selected for Lot 2. The contract was signed on 13 August 2026 and is valued at £4,731,325.27. The published value includes anticipated additional roles, ad hoc requests and an extension option of up to 36 months; these elements are subject to the purchaser’s requirements. The supplier is expected to subcontract 60% of the contract value. The lot is complete, and the award relates to business and technical design services rather than a wider supply of general IT services. No award evaluation weighting is stated in the available procurement details.

For a supplier assessing future Social Security Scotland requirements, this award shows demand for substantial, specialist SPM capability spanning business analysis, technical architecture, development, configuration, design assurance and governance. Credible competitors would need to combine hands-on delivery skills with the ability to manage governance, security roles, organisational models, batch scheduling and critical defects across a live public-sector digital environment. The requirement also favours providers able to supply several complementary senior and technical roles, respond to changing business needs, and undertake ad hoc SPM work within an established service scope. Experience working with dynamic purchasing systems and public-sector delivery would be commercially relevant. The award to an SME indicates that a smaller specialist provider can compete, while the subcontracting requirement points to a delivery model involving substantial partner capacity.
