## Summary

The Scottish Government is in the planning stage for a procurement process concerning the provision of temporary and interim staff services to the Scottish Public Sector. This framework is classified under the industry category of supply services of personnel, which includes temporary staff. The procurement will take place across Scotland, with the central location being Glasgow (UKM region). Noteworthy dates include the availability of a Request for Information (RFI) Questionnaire until the close of 3 March 2026. While the procurement method is collaborative and non-competitive at this stage, the framework is planned to fill temporary staffing requirements across various public sector organisations.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in temporary staffing solutions, specifically those offering a range of services including information technology and administration services. Companies that can provide flexible, short-term workforce solutions are well-suited to compete for inclusion in this framework. Participation in the procurement strategy development process through the RFI Questionnaire allows businesses to influence future contractual arrangements and demonstrate their ability to contribute Fair Work First measures. This engagement fosters potential growth by aligning supplier offerings with public sector needs, thereby enhancing business visibility and credibility within the sector.

### Lot Information

Lot 1

The Scottish Procurement and Property Directorate (SPPD) is the organisation tasked with procuring requirements on behalf of Scottish Public Sector Bodies. The current Scottish Government collaborative Temporary and Interim Staff Services Frameworks are a suite of four individual multi supplier Framework Agreements which commenced on 13 April 2023 and are due to expire on 12 April 2027. They are all National Category A Frameworks which are open to all public sector organisations throughout Scotland. They are designed to provide the full range of commonly sought temporary and interim staff services required for daily business. These are national collaborative Frameworks, for commonly required, regularly sought temporary and interim staff services roles/assignments across the Scottish public sector. These Frameworks are intended solely for short term, gap filling purposes and are not intended as an alternative to permanent or fixed term appointment (FTA) recruitment. Work has commenced in developing the procurement strategy options including canvassing of stakeholders views. In order to complete and finalise the strategy, SPPD recognises the value of suppliers having the opportunity to contribute to this process on a non-competitive, non-judgemental basis. This request for information is aimed at collating those views from market participants. Framework participants will be expected to provide a range of Fair Work First measures. This information may be utilised in developing the procurement strategy to help deliver contractual arrangements for Temporary and Interim Staff Services requirements. This notice is issued for information only and does not constitute a call for competition. Scottish Government and the Scottish Ministers shall have no liability for any costs, however incurred, by those attending any information days, attendance at meetings, or involvement in the proposed procurement process. Suppliers and other interested parties should read and complete the following Request for Information Online Questionnaire using the link below. https://forms.office.com/e/cNzCefdZzU The questionnaire will be available for all interested parties until COP 3 March 2026.
