Summary of the contracting process

Registers of Scotland procured non-clinical staffing for an IT Security Architect role through the Government Commercial Agency’s RM6277 framework, under its Lot 3. The requirement was for personnel to fill a specialist security architecture position. Registers of Scotland is based in Edinburgh. The role was classified as personnel supply, including temporary staffing (CPV 79620000). The procurement description points to a role profile and an invitation to quote as the documents defining the detailed requirements.

The procurement has been awarded to Hays Specialist Recruitment Ltd; Venesky Brown Ltd is also named as a supplier, but is not identified as the winner. Three bids were recorded. The award was made through a call-off from the RM6277 Non Clinical Staffing framework, with the framework’s terms and conditions applying. The initial contract term runs from 2 November 2026 to 31 October 2027, with a possible 12-month extension to 1 November 2028. The awarded value for the initial term is £166,440 excluding VAT; the stated maximum potential spend including extensions is £332,880 excluding VAT. The award date and evaluation basis are not stated in the available procurement details.

This award shows Registers of Scotland’s demand for non-clinical IT security architecture expertise sourced through a staffing framework. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this kind would need to recruit or supply a suitably experienced Security Architect for an IT role, and understand the framework’s call-off terms. The procurement also refers to an IR35 determination of “Outside”, so suppliers should be able to engage with the stated employment-status arrangement. Hays Specialist Recruitment Ltd won against a field in which three bids were recorded, indicating competition for specialist staffing work. The requirement is focused on supplying a role rather than delivering a broader IT security programme.
