## Summary

Disclosure Scotland bought technical architect services for its Glasgow operation. The requirement was an interim IT staffing service, awarded against the Interim IT Staff Services – National framework. The work is classified as business and organisational services and is focused on providing a technical architect rather than a wider technology delivery programme. Disclosure Scotland is the buying organisation and the stated delivery location is Disclosure Scotland in Glasgow. The requirement formed a single lot and was managed through Disclosure Scotland’s public-sector purchasing arrangements. The selected supplier, ASA Recruitment, is based in Aberdeen and is recorded as a small or medium-sized enterprise. The opportunity is therefore relevant to firms supplying interim technical architecture professionals or recruiting and placing specialist IT staff for public-sector organisations.

This procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. It used an open procedure for a single lot under the Interim IT Staff Services – National framework. ASA Recruitment was selected for the technical architect requirement. The contract is recorded as active, was signed on 17 August 2026, and has a value of £355,200. The lot description allows for an extension up to a maximum overall period of 17 months. Evaluation resulted in 10 bids, including two from SMEs; all 10 bids were submitted electronically. The process was covered by the Government Procurement Agreement. The award was made against the related framework process, rather than as a standalone requirement. No separate award date is recorded in the published procurement details.

For a supplier that did not win, this award is evidence that Disclosure Scotland uses external interim IT staffing for technical architecture work at a substantial level. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need access to suitably qualified technical architects and the ability to recruit, assess and place them through a public-sector staffing route. The result also shows that smaller firms can compete: ASA Recruitment, the selected supplier, is recorded as an SME, while two SMEs submitted bids. Firms should therefore be able to manage electronic tender submissions and compete through an open process linked to the national interim IT staff framework. Recruitment businesses with a strong technical IT desk, reliable candidate screening and experience supplying specialist interim resources are the closest fit.
