## Summary

The Scottish Government has awarded a contract for the provision of Client Side Partner Services under the SHARED SERVICE PROGRAMME to Sopra Steria. The procurement was conducted using a limited procedure without prior publication of a call for competition. The contract, valued at £936,093, was signed on 17th April 2024.

This contract provides an opportunity for businesses specialising in information technology services to partner with the Scottish Government. The completion of the new Back Office Software system integration project has led to an extended need for the Client Side Partner services. Businesses with expertise in IT services and experience in complex software implementations would be well-suited to compete in this type of procurement process.

### Procurement Information

Following the award of the original contract (Ref: DEC435656), the implementation of the new Back Office Software system into the Scottish Government's SCOTS systems has been more complex than anticipated and as a result has taken longer than was originally planned. This has led to the Client Side Partner being required for longer than was originally planned.
