The procurement process, which involved a tender initiated on 29 March 2021 and concluded with the contract being signed on 26 March 2021, attracted six bids and has a total contract value of £127,502. The award period ends on 19 November 2021, and the contract is currently active. The buying organisation is based in Edinburgh, while the suppliers selected for the award are Harvey Nash and Venesky Brown Ltd, both also located in Edinburgh. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in IT services, particularly those with expertise in user research and development for digital projects. Companies that provide consulting and software development services would find themselves well-positioned to compete in this market. Given the growing demand for digital transformation within public sector organisations, suppliers who can swiftly demonstrate their capability to deliver effective user research will likely thrive in this environment. ## Notice 2 x User Researchers (B2-DDaT) ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Public Contracts Scotland | | Latest notice | https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=MAR410556 | | Notice type | PCS Notice - Quick Quote Award | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Goods | | 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 | 29 Mar 2021 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 29 Mar 2021 | | Contract period | Not specified | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | £127,502 | | 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 | CLACKMANNANSHIRE COUNCIL; CROWN OFFICE AND PROCURATOR FISCAL SERVICE; FORESTRY AND LAND SCOTLAND; NATIONAL LIBRARY OF SCOTLAND; SOCIAL CARE AND SOCIAL WORK IMPROVEMENT SCOTLAND (CARE INSPECTORATE); SUMMERS INMAN; THE CITY OF EDINBURGH COUNCIL; THE SCOTTISH GOVERNMENT | | Locality | EDINBURGH | | Post town | Edinburgh | | Postcode | EH8 8BG | | 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 | Corstorphine/Murrayfield | | Westminster constituency | Edinburgh West | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 28 | | Supplier names | ALLAN INGRAM INDUSTRIAL CLEANING SERVICES; APOGEE; APS GROUP (SCOTLAND; ASA RECRUITMENT (QUICK QUOTES; BLAKE STEVENSON; BOXXE; CCL (NORTH; CELLO SIGNAL LTD (T/A LEITH AGENCY; ELECTRICAL TESTING; HADDEN GROUP; HARVEY NASH; L&D PLUMBING & TILING SERVICES; LORIEN RESOURCING; P1 SOLUTIONS; PHOENIX SOFTWARE; PROXIMA; RESEARCH RESOURCE; SAXTON BAMPFYLDE; SMARTS; STORM EVIRONMENTAL; T & N GILMARTIN (CONTRACTORS; THE LINES BETWEEN; TUSKER; UNIVERSITY OF ST ANDREWS; USER VISION; VENESKY BROWN; VIVUP; WYBONE | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 72 - IT services: consulting, software development, Internet and support ### Codes - 72000000 - IT services: consulting, software development, Internet and support ## Release History - 29 Mar 2021 at 09:19 - Award - PCS Notice - Quick Quote Award - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=MAR410556 ## Notice URLs - http://https://forestryandland.gov.scot - http://www.careinspectorate.gov.scot - http://www.clacks.gov.uk/business/corporateprocurementprocess/ - http://www.copfs.gov.uk/ - http://www.edinburgh.gov.uk - http://www.nls.uk - http://www.scotland.gov.uk ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
