## Summary

Qualifications Scotland bought IT services under the “Data Fixes & IT Solution” requirement. The scope covers three services over the contract: fixing data issues, application-code work, and digital cards or e-wallets. Application-code work is a priority, one-off activity addressing known problems in processing user requests and issuing cards. Data-fix activity is expected to reduce as application changes are completed and root causes are identified and resolved. The requirement is classified as database and software-related services (CPV 72212610). Work is for Qualifications Scotland and is delivered in Scotland. The buyer is a central purchasing body in the education sector, based in Dalkeith, Midlothian. The procurement was arranged as one lot covering the full requirement and its associated application and digital-card options.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a restricted procedure. Quorum Network Resources Ltd was selected as supplier. The contract value is £324,000, including the stated currency of GBP, and the contract was signed on 18 September 2026. The award was made on 22 September 2026. Four bids were received; all four were from SMEs and all were submitted electronically. Evaluation included project management, weighted at 15, and price, weighted at 25. The single lot was awarded in full, with options covering application-code work and digital cards or e-wallets. The contract is recorded as active. The published outcome identifies Quorum Network Resources Ltd as the successful supplier for the complete requirement.

This outcome demonstrates demand from Qualifications Scotland for suppliers able to combine application remediation, data-quality work and digital-card or e-wallet capability. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need to diagnose root causes in operational data, modify application code safely, and support user-request processing and card issuance. Experience managing a staged technical programme would be relevant because the application work is prioritised while data-fix activity reduces as underlying defects are resolved. Suppliers should also be able to deliver or integrate digital cards and e-wallets, with suitable controls for reliability, security and service continuity. The competition attracted four SME bids, showing that the requirement can be contested by smaller specialist businesses as well as larger IT providers. Strong project management and a competitive pricing model were central to evaluation.

## Notice

Qualifications Scotland requires the provision of three services over the life of the contract, however, it should be noted that for the data fixes, there is an expectation that the number required will diminish over the life of the contract as the Application code work is completed and the root causes are identified and fixed. The Application code work will be a priority, one-off piece of work to address known issues with the processing of user requests and the issuing of cards
