## Summary

The Scottish Government procured interim professional staff services through its national Interim Professional Staff Services Framework Agreement. The requirement was a call-off for one Project Analyst, although the procurement title describes the role as an interim Project Manager. The work falls within professional personnel placement and supply services, under CPV 79620000. Delivery is in Edinburgh. This is a services requirement for an organisation needing temporary project resource rather than a construction, equipment or general consultancy contract. Suppliers specialising in sourcing and supplying interim project professionals are the relevant market. The Scottish Government acted as the buying organisation and central purchasing body, with the requirement covered by the Government Procurement Agreement.

The procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. It used an open procedure and was called off from the Scottish Procurement Interim Professional Staff Services Framework Agreement. One lot covered the requirement, and the contract was awarded to Lorien Resourcing Ltd. The contract value is £225,000 including the published currency of GBP. The contract was signed on 5 August 2026 and is recorded as active. The award followed 13 bids, all submitted electronically; none were identified as bids from SMEs. Evaluation was conducted through the framework call-off process, with the available information identifying the professional staff requirement rather than setting out separate price or quality weightings.

This award confirms Scottish Government demand for interim project professionals supplied through an established public-sector framework route. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need to recruit, vet and deploy suitably experienced project staff quickly, while managing the administration and compliance expected of a framework supplier. The evidence of 13 electronic bids indicates a competitive market, and the selected supplier was a large resourcing business, suggesting that delivery capacity and access to an established candidate pool are commercially important. Relevant firms are therefore interim staffing agencies with strong project-management recruitment capability, public-sector procurement experience and the operational scale to support a national government buyer and provide skilled personnel in Edinburgh.
