## Summary

The procurement process for a "Lead Solutions Architect" position was conducted by Education Scotland, based in Livingston, UK. The tender was classified under the Education industry category and involved the temporary staffing of a lead solutions architect role. The procurement followed an open procedure and concluded at the awarding stage, with the contract being signed on 4th September 2025. Notably, the award, associated with the procurement ID EDUC-0000718, was valued at £254,053.10. The related procurement activity had a delivery location in the UKM region, and the tendering process incorporated both a framework agreement and electronic auction techniques.

Tenderers like Harvey Nash Limited, who secured the contract, highlight the potential for established companies to fulfil such roles. The open procurement method signalled accessibility to a diverse range of suppliers, although this instance saw participation by a single large supplier, indicating a niche market. Businesses within the IT and solutions sector looking to expand their clientele in public contracts, especially those in educational services, would find similar opportunities beneficial for growth.
