## Summary

Registers of Scotland procured a software development coach as a non-clinical staffing service. The role was described as a vacant or new post, recruited through the Government Commercial Agency’s collaborative non-clinical staffing framework. The requirement concerns coaching in software development; the detailed role profile and ITQ define the work. Registers of Scotland is based in Edinburgh, although the procurement information does not establish where the post-holder would work.

The framework call-off has been awarded to Hays Specialist Recruitment Ltd, and the contract is recorded as active. The award was made under the non-clinical staffing framework’s Lot 3. The initial contract term runs from 5 October 2026 to 3 October 2027, with a possible 12-month extension to 2 October 2028. The stated initial-term value is £136,800 excluding VAT; the notice describes maximum potential spend of £273,600 if extensions are taken. Ten bids were recorded. The procurement description says compliant submissions would be evaluated fairly, but does not provide the evaluation criteria or an award date.

For recruitment firms supplying specialist technology talent, this award demonstrates Registers of Scotland’s demand for a software development coach through a public-sector staffing framework. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need to source a coach whose experience fits the role profile and whose employment and tax status can be supported by an IR35 assessment; the procurement refers to an IR35 determination outside the off-payroll working rules. Suppliers would also need to be positioned to deliver through the relevant non-clinical staffing framework route. The recorded competition attracted ten bids, indicating that the requirement drew multiple suppliers. The work is a single specialist staffing role rather than a broad technology delivery contract.
