## Summary

The Scottish Courts and Tribunals Service procured recruitment services for a Senior Functional and Automation Test Analyst. The requirement is for sourcing and providing an experienced testing professional, covering both functional testing and test automation. This is a services contract for the Scottish Courts and Tribunals Service, with delivery associated with the buyer’s operations in Scotland. The procurement was made against the national Interim IT Staff Services framework. The buyer is a public-sector courts and tribunals organisation based in Edinburgh. The classification is CPV 79600000, covering recruitment services. The requirement relates to one service lot focused specifically on supplying a senior analyst rather than a broader information technology transformation or software development programme.

The procurement has been completed and awarded following an open procedure under the national Interim IT Staff Services framework. Three bids were received for the requirement, including no bids identified as coming from SMEs. Lorien Resourcing Ltd was selected for the single lot. The contract was signed on 5 February 2026 and has an awarded contract value of £245,960. The initial contract period is 12 months, with the buyer holding a sole option to extend it to a total duration of 24 months from the start date. The published process records the contract as active and the tender as complete. No separate award date or scored evaluation criteria are stated.

For a supplier assessing future demand from this buyer, the award demonstrates a requirement for specialist recruitment support in senior software testing. Credible competitors would need access to candidates who can work across functional testing and automation, and the ability to identify and supply people at senior analyst level. Recruitment firms with established technology-testing networks, effective candidate screening and experience placing interim IT professionals would be well aligned. The buyer used a national interim IT staffing framework, so suppliers seeking similar work would also benefit from understanding framework call-off routes and public-sector recruitment compliance. The three-bid competition indicates that this type of requirement attracts several providers and that a focused technology resourcing offer is relevant.
