## Summary

Scottish Courts and Tribunals Service procured recruitment services to provide a Network Engineer. The requirement is for sourcing and supplying specialist network engineering resource rather than delivering a general information technology project. It falls within recruitment and personnel-placement services (CPV 79600000), classified as a service. The buying organisation is Scottish Courts and Tribunals Service, based in Edinburgh, and the requirement covers Scotland. The procurement was made against the national Interim IT Staff Services framework. The single requirement concerns provision of one Network Engineer resource for the Scottish courts and tribunals service, supporting its operational information technology needs.

This procurement is complete and the contract was awarded through an open procedure. Lorien Resourcing Ltd was selected for the single lot. The contract was signed on 22 April 2026 and is active, with an awarded contract value of £219,960. The requirement has an initial duration of 12 months, with the purchaser holding an option to extend it to a total duration of 24 months. Four bids were recorded for the lot. Evaluation resulted in an award to the selected supplier; the published data does not set out weighted price or quality criteria. The opportunity was run as a call-off against the national Interim IT Staff Services framework rather than as an unconnected standalone purchase.

For suppliers that did not win, this award demonstrates demand from Scottish Courts and Tribunals Service for externally sourced network engineering capability through the national Interim IT Staff Services framework. A credible competitor would need recruitment or resourcing capability focused on specialist network engineering, access to suitable candidates, and the ability to provide an appropriately experienced Network Engineer for a public-sector environment. Familiarity with framework call-off processes and the ability to manage the placement and ongoing supply of technical personnel would be relevant. Four bids were received, while none came from SMEs, indicating that future competition may favour established resourcing businesses with sufficient candidate reach, delivery capacity and public-sector procurement experience.
