The procurement process falls under the services category, specifically related to the supply of personnel, including temporary staff. East Dunbartonshire Council, UHI Executive Office, and the Scottish Government are involved as buying organisations. The tender process, initiated on 21 January 2025, has reached the award stage with a direct procurement method, meaning the contract was awarded to a single supplier without competition. The contract period starts on 2 July 2025 and ends on 2 June 2026, with the award valued at £186,929.60 to Venesky Brown Ltd. This tender offers a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in providing skilled interim solutions, particularly those with expertise in IT and architectural services. Small to medium-sized enterprises, especially those with a proven track record of delivering high-quality professional services quickly and efficiently, stand to benefit greatly from engaging with such contracts. With the Scottish Government's direct procurement approach, businesses capable of forming strong direct relationships with public sector buyers are well-positioned to compete and secure future contracts, fostering growth and expanding their service portfolios within the public sector. ## Notice Scottish Government are looking for Provision of 1 x Solution Architect Interim (this is one of five positions that are being advertised separately) Please be advised submission for each role will needed to be actioned independently and can no longer be advertised for multiple positions under same advertisement) ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Public Contracts Scotland | | Latest notice | https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=JAN522174 | | Notice type | PCS Notice - Quick Quote Award | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Direct | | Procurement method details | The contract is awarded to a single supplier without competition. | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 21 Jan 2025 | | Submission deadline | 2 Jun 2026 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 21 Jan 2025 | | Contract period | Not specified | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | £186,929 | | 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 | APUC LIMITED ON BEHALF OF SABHAL MOR OSTAIG; CLACKMANNANSHIRE COUNCIL; EAST DUNBARTONSHIRE COUNCIL; ENVIRONMENTAL STANDARDS SCOTLAND; FIFE COUNCIL; FORESTRY AND LAND SCOTLAND; PERTH & KINROSS COUNCIL; REGISTERS OF SCOTLAND; SASA SCOTTISH GOVERNMENT; SCOTTISH GOVERNMENT- SASA; SOUTH AYRSHIRE COUNCIL; STIRLING COUNCIL; THE CITY OF EDINBURGH COUNCIL; THE WHEATLEY HOUSING GROUP LIMITED; UHI EXECUTIVE OFFICE; UNIVERSITY OF STRATHCLYDE | | Locality | GLASGOW | | Post town | Glasgow | | Postcode | G2 8EA | | Country | Scotland | | ITL 1 | TLM Scotland | | ITL 2 | TLM2 Highlands and Islands | | ITL 3 | TLM20 Highlands and Islands | | Local authority | Highland | | Electoral ward | Inverness Millburn | | Westminster constituency | Inverness, Skye and West Ross-shire | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 32 | | Supplier names | AGILENT TECHNOLOGIES; ASK4; BELL GROUP; BLUE TRIANGLE (GLASGOW) HOUSING ASSOCIATION; CAREIUM; DALEBAY LIMITED.
