## Summary

The Scottish Government procured paralegal services to support the Eljamel Inquiry, specifically the interim 2 requirement. The work is a call-off from the Framework for the Provision of Temporary Legal Staff and falls within legal support services. Delivery is in Scotland. This is a service requirement rather than a purchase of goods or construction works, and is relevant to temporary legal staffing providers, legal recruitment businesses and organisations able to supply suitably qualified paralegals for public inquiries. The buying organisation is the Scottish Government, acting as a central purchasing body. The requirement was arranged as a single lot under the temporary legal staff framework.

The procurement has been completed and awarded through an open procedure as a framework call-off. Service Care Solutions Ltd was selected for the single lot. The contract value is £98,934.40 including the published currency of GBP, and the contract was signed on 27 August 2026. One bid was recorded, submitted electronically by an SME; the published bid statistics also record one bid from outside the EU. The contract is active. The procurement was covered by the Government Procurement Agreement. The award concerns temporary legal staff for the Eljamel Inquiry’s interim 2 paralegal requirement, with no options attached to the lot.

This award demonstrates demand from the Scottish Government for temporary paralegal support connected with a sensitive, formal public inquiry. A credible competitor for similar work would need to provide suitably qualified paralegals through a compliant temporary legal staffing model, with the capacity to place staff promptly and maintain continuity during an inquiry assignment. Experience supplying legal personnel to public bodies, inquiries, courts or other regulated environments would help demonstrate understanding of confidentiality, document handling, procedural discipline and evidence-related work. The requirement was fulfilled through a temporary legal staff framework, so suppliers seeking comparable Scottish Government work would also need access to the relevant framework route or an equivalent compliant public procurement arrangement.
