This direct procurement, under the main industry category of services, focuses on supplying personnel, specifically temporary staff. The awarded contract, valued at GBP 56,192.40, is set for a six-month duration. The procurement method was direct, where the contract was granted to Venesky Brown Ltd without competition, aligning with the Scottish Government's Temporary and Interim Staff (Professional) Collaborative Framework Agreement.
