This tender falls under the services industry category and is currently at the Award stage. The tender period commenced on 30 April 2018 and concluded on 27 July 2018. The awarded contract, valued at £25,025, focuses on sourcing a Project Lead to assist in the documentation and transition of new social security processes for the Scottish Government's new Social Security Agency. This tender represents significant growth opportunities for businesses specialising in consultancy and project management services, particularly those with experience in social security systems and governmental procedures. Firms that can provide temporary and agency staff, especially in professional roles, would find this tender especially relevant. Such contracts are integral for businesses looking to expand their service offerings and engage with government projects that involve complex organisational changes. ## Notice 1 x Project Lead required for the Social Security Directorate and the new Social Security Agency to understand in detail, a large number of new processes that will enable successful transitioning of the new social security powers and 11 benefits. This is possibly the biggest programme of change which the Scottish Government has undertaken since devolution, and the most complex. It requires detailed documentation of those processes which can underpin training materials, guidance and business processes. We need the Project Lead role to support product owners and service design managers in turning our operational policy decisions in to properly documented business cases. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Public Contracts Scotland | | Latest notice | https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=JUL324210 | | Notice type | PCS Notice - Quick Quote Award | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Not specified | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 5 Jul 2018 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 5 Jul 2018 | | Contract period | Not specified | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | £25,025 | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Not specified | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Active | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | SCOTTISH GOVERNMENT | | Additional buyers | ANGUS COUNCIL; CLACKMANNANSHIRE COUNCIL; EAST AYRSHIRE COUNCIL; EAST LOTHIAN COUNCIL; FIFE COUNCIL; FORESTRY COMMISSION; HISTORIC ENVIRONMENT SCOTLAND; MARYHILL HOUSING ASSOCIATION LTD; NATIONAL LIBRARY OF SCOTLAND; PERTH & KINROSS COUNCIL; PROCUREMENT FOR HOUSING LTD (T/A PFH SCOTLAND); REGISTERS OF SCOTLAND; SCOTTISH QUALIFICATIONS AUTHORITY; STIRLING COUNCIL; TAYSIDE PROCUREMENT CONSORTIUM; THE CITY OF EDINBURGH COUNCIL; THE COMMON SERVICES AGENCY (MORE COMMONLY KNOWN AS NHS NATIONAL SERVICES SCOTLAND) ("NSS"); THE HIGHLAND COUNCIL; UNIVERSITY OF STIRLING; UNIVERSITY OF STRATHCLYDE; WEST LOTHIAN COUNCIL | | Locality | INVERNESS | | Post town | Inverness | | Postcode | IV3 5BX | | Country | Scotland | | ITL 1 | TLM Scotland | | ITL 2 | TLM1 East Central Scotland | | ITL 3 | TLM13 City of Edinburgh | | Local authority | City of Edinburgh | | Electoral ward | Fountainbridge/Craiglockhart | | Westminster constituency | Edinburgh South West | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 44 | | Supplier names | ALLIED VEHICLES; ARTHUR J.
