## Summary

Scottish Courts and Tribunals Service bought recruitment services to provide an Oracle database administrator (DBA). The requirement is for specialist IT resourcing rather than the direct supply of software or database infrastructure. It sits within interim IT staff services and supports the buyer’s public-service operations. The buyer is based at Saughton House in Edinburgh, and the contracting authority is a central purchasing body. The requirement was arranged as a single service lot covering the provision of Oracle DBA recruitment services. Businesses relevant to this opportunity would include specialist technology recruitment agencies able to identify and place experienced Oracle database professionals for public-sector or other controlled operating environments. The service concerns sourcing personnel, so firms whose main capability is software licensing, hardware supply or general administration would be less closely aligned.

This procurement has been completed and awarded through an open procedure as a call-off against the national Interim IT Staff Services framework. The single lot was awarded to Lorien Resourcing Ltd, and the contract is active. The contract value is £286,000, in GBP. The contract was signed on 5 February 2026. The requirement was described as an initial 12-month period, with the buyer holding a sole option to extend the contract to a total duration of 24 months from the start date. Three bids were recorded for the lot. The published outcome identifies the successful supplier and contract value, but does not provide a separate award date or a scored breakdown of evaluation criteria. The process is therefore evidence of a completed framework-based purchase of Oracle DBA recruitment services by Scottish Courts and Tribunals Service.

For a supplier that did not win, this award demonstrates a defined demand for Oracle DBA recruitment within Scottish Courts and Tribunals Service and shows that the buyer uses a national interim IT staffing framework and an open call-off route. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need strong access to experienced Oracle database administrators, effective technical screening and the ability to manage recruitment through to placement. It would also need the operational capacity to support a substantial specialist resourcing requirement over an initial term with a possible extension, while meeting public-sector framework, compliance and reporting expectations. The recorded competition involved three bidders, indicating that suppliers need a clear specialist proposition rather than a generalist staffing offer. Technology recruitment firms with established Oracle networks, reliable vetting processes and experience supplying interim IT professionals are best placed.
