Summary of the contracting process

Social Security Scotland procured one Senior Delivery Manager through its temporary and interim staffing requirement. The role is for delivery management; the procurement does not describe further duties or a specific project. The buying organisation is Social Security Scotland. The role is associated with Scotland, while the record gives no more precise work location. This is a single-person staffing requirement rather than a broader team or a defined package of project services. The requirement was placed under a temporary and interim staff services framework, so the award forms part of the buyer’s use of that route for securing interim management resource.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to ASA Recruitment (Quick Quotes). The contract was signed on 24 September 2026 and has an awarded value of £172,700. The initial assignment runs from 22 October 2026 to 22 January 2027, with an optional 12-month extension. This was a single-lot requirement, awarded through an open procedure against the Temporary and Interim Staff Services frameworks. The tender evaluation basis and eligibility requirements are not described. The process received 23 bids, all recorded as bids from SMEs; all 23 were electronic. The contract is recorded as active. The award is for one Senior Delivery Manager, and the contract record does not split the awarded value into separate components.

For staffing firms and interim management providers, this award demonstrates Social Security Scotland’s demand for senior delivery management through its temporary and interim staff framework. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need to source and supply an individual at Senior Delivery Manager level, with the capability to take on delivery management work for a public-sector organisation. The single-person requirement and short initial assignment, with an extension option, indicate a need to provide suitable interim resource rather than a permanent appointment or a large delivery team. The award attracted 23 bids, all recorded as SME bids, showing that smaller suppliers competed for this requirement. Experience supplying senior interim managers through public-sector staffing frameworks would therefore be relevant to competing for similar work with this buyer.
