This contract falls under the services category, specifically for personnel supply services, including temporary staff. The procurement was conducted through a direct method, meaning it was awarded to a single supplier without a competitive process. This contract commenced on 5th August 2025 and will conclude on 5th July 2026. The total value of the contract is £309,680. The main buying organisation involved is the Scottish Government, based in Glasgow, and the location impacted by this tender is primarily Edinburgh, Scotland. This contract offers significant opportunities for businesses specialising in the supply of IT personnel and related services, as the demand for skilled staff remains high. Companies able to provide senior user research expertise could benefit from such contracts by positioning themselves as reliable providers for similar future tenders. Smaller IT consultancy firms and staffing agencies, particularly those with a focus on temporary staffing solutions, may find this sector promising for growth. Establishing relationships with public sector buyers like the Scottish Government can also lead to further opportunities in the broader public sector. ## Notice 1 x Senior User Researcher ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Public Contracts Scotland | | Latest notice | https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=JUN532506 | | 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 | 13 Jun 2025 | | Submission deadline | 5 Jul 2026 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 13 Jun 2025 | | Contract period | Not specified | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | £309,680 | | 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 | ABERDEENSHIRE COUNCIL; BORDERS COLLEGE; COMHAIRLE NAN EILEAN SIAR; EAST LOTHIAN COUNCIL; FIFE COUNCIL; FOOD STANDARDS SCOTLAND (FSS); FORESTRY AND LAND SCOTLAND; FORTH VALLEY COLLEGE; HANOVER (SCOTLAND) HOUSING ASSOCIATION LTD; NEW COLLEGE LANARKSHIRE; NHS GREATER GLASGOW AND CLYDE; NORTH LANARKSHIRE COUNCIL; PERTH & KINROSS COUNCIL; REGISTERS OF SCOTLAND; SCOTTISH BORDERS COUNCIL; THE STATE HOSPITALS BOARD FOR SCOTLAND; UNIVERSITY OF DUNDEE | | Locality | STORNOWAY | | Post town | Outer Hebrides | | Postcode | HS1 2BW | | Country | Scotland | | ITL 1 | TLM Scotland | | ITL 2 | TLM1 East Central Scotland | | ITL 3 | TLM11 East Lothian and Midlothian | | Local authority | East Lothian | | Electoral ward | Haddington and Lammermuir | | Westminster constituency | Lothian East | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 27 | | Supplier names | ACE TAXIS PERTH; AGILICO (SCOTLAND) LIMITED (MAIN CONTACT; AMD CONTRACT SERVICES; BELL GROUP; BIFFA WASTE SERVICES; CCG (SCOTLAND; E.
