Summary of the contracting process

The Scottish Government bought interim vendor maintenance officer services for its Accounts Payable and Vendor Maintenance Branch, part of the Financial Operations Division responsible for Oracle Cloud finance systems and related services. The work was based at Victoria Quay in Edinburgh. The officer’s duties included creating, updating and maintaining supplier records in Oracle Cloud; checking supplier banking, tax and contact information; responding to supplier and customer enquiries; and working with Accounts Payable teams to resolve payment queries. This is finance administration and supplier-record maintenance work, rather than a purchase of software or an Oracle system implementation.

The procurement is complete and a contract has been awarded to Venesky-Brown Recruitment. The contract was signed on 15 October 2026 and is valued at £38,520. The requirement was for an interim officer from 2 November 2026 to 2 July 2027. It was run as an open procedure and described as an award against the Admin, Catering and Manual Staff Services – South framework. One bid was received, from an SME. The stated essential requirements were a good working knowledge of IT systems, ability to follow instructions and processes, and excellent telephone and written communication skills. Oracle Cloud or other ERP experience, and experience handling supplier or customer enquiries, were desirable.

This award shows demand for short-term finance operations support focused on maintaining supplier data and helping resolve payment queries. A credible competitor for a similar requirement would need to provide staff who can work accurately within established processes, use business IT systems confidently and communicate effectively by telephone and in writing. Direct experience with Oracle Cloud or another ERP system would strengthen a proposal, as would evidence of handling supplier or customer enquiries. Suppliers should be able to place an interim officer into the buyer’s Accounts Payable and Vendor Maintenance Branch and work alongside its existing Accounts Payable teams. The award was made through a framework route, so suppliers seeking comparable work would need to be positioned to compete through the relevant framework arrangements.
