Summary of the contracting process

Education Scotland procured one Technical Support Lead to provide technical support for its Curriculum Framework. This is a professional staffing service, sourced through the Scottish Government’s Interim Professional Staff Services Framework. Education Scotland is based in Livingston. The requirement was a single specialist role rather than a larger team or a package of separately described services. The procurement was managed by Education Scotland, with the framework providing the route to obtain interim professional staff. The contract relates to Education Scotland’s curriculum work; no more detailed duties or delivery location are described.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded to Venesky Brown Ltd, which was selected for the single Technical Support Lead requirement. The contract is active and was signed on 14 July 2026. Its recorded contract value is £30,009.60. The requirement was arranged as one lot through an open procedure using the Scottish Government’s Interim Professional Staff Services Framework. The bid statistics record one bid for the lot. No award date or contract start and end dates are provided in the process data, so the signed date is the only stated contract date. The procurement included an electronic auction, but no evaluation criteria or scoring basis are stated.

This award indicates demand from Education Scotland for interim professional support in curriculum framework work, delivered through its Scottish Government staffing framework. A supplier seeking to compete for a similar requirement would need to provide a suitably capable Technical Support Lead and be able to supply specialist professional staff through the relevant framework route. The work was procured as a single role, so credibility depends on matching an individual’s expertise to the buyer’s curriculum support needs rather than demonstrating capacity for a large delivery team. The recorded competition attracted one bid, suggesting that suppliers able to meet the requirement and participate through this route should be positioned to respond when comparable staffing needs arise. The data does not describe specific qualifications or experience requirements.
