The requirement was for a Back-End Software Engineer supporting Disclosure Scotland, under the Scottish Government Interim IT Staff Framework Agreement for Interim IT Staff Services. The work is associated with Disclosure Scotland at 1 Pacific Quay, Glasgow. It is a public-sector technology staffing requirement rather than a software product supply or construction project. The procurement was classified under CPV 79620000, covering the provision of personnel services. Businesses relevant to this requirement include IT recruitment and specialist technology staffing providers able to supply experienced back-end engineering personnel for public-sector assignments. The buyer is also identified as a central purchasing body, indicating experience of public-sector procurement routes may be relevant to comparable requirements. The procurement has been completed and the contract was awarded to Harvey Nash. It used an open procedure as a call-off from the Scottish Government Interim IT Staff Framework. The award relates to one lot for a Back-End Software Engineer. The contract was signed on 19 August 2026 and has a value of £242,976. The contract is recorded as active. The arrangement may be extended, up to a maximum additional period of 17 months. Evaluation followed the open procurement process, with 12 bids received, including three from small and medium-sized enterprises; all 12 bids were submitted electronically. The requirement was covered by the Government Procurement Agreement. No separate award date or contract end date is stated in the published outcome. This award shows a defined demand from Disclosure Scotland for contracted back-end engineering capability through a Scottish Government interim IT staffing framework. A credible competing supplier would need access to suitably experienced back-end software engineers, the ability to present and manage candidates for a public-sector client, and capacity to support delivery from or in connection with Glasgow. The market attracted 12 bids, including three from SMEs, so smaller specialist recruitment or technology staffing businesses have demonstrated participation in this type of competition. Suppliers should also understand framework call-off procedures and electronic tendering, and be able to respond to requirements for individual technical professionals rather than broad software development delivery. Harvey Nash’s selection indicates that a specialist staffing intermediary can satisfy this route and requirement. ## Notice Back-End Software Engineer ### Lot Information Lot 1 Call off from Scottish Government Interim IT framework - Back-End Software Engineer Options: May be subject to extension up to a maximum period of 17 months. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Public Contracts Scotland | | Latest notice | https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=SEP563716 | | Notice type | PCS Notice - Website Contract Award Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Large | | All stages | Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 3 Sep 2026 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | Not specified | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | £242,976 | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Complete | | Lots status | Complete | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Active | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | Disclosure Scotland | | Locality | GLASGOW | | Postcode area | Glasgow | | Postcode | G51 1DZ | | Country | Scotland | | ITL 1 | TLM Scotland | | ITL 2 | TLM3 West Central Scotland | | ITL 3 | TLM32 Glasgow City | | Local authority | Glasgow City | | Electoral ward | Govan | | Westminster constituency | Glasgow South West | | Delivery location | TLM Scotland | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 1 | | Supplier names | Harvey Nash | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 79 - Business services: law, marketing, consulting, recruitment, printing and security ### Codes - 79620000 - Supply services of personnel including temporary staff ## Release History - 3 Sep 2026 at 01:00 - Award - PCS Notice - Website Contract Award Notice - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=SEP563716 ## Documents - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=SEP563716 Back-End Software Engineer - Back-End Software Engineer ## Notice URLs - http:// - http://www.disclosurescotland.co.uk/ - https://api.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/v1/Notice?id=ocds-r6ebe6-0000841932 ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
