## Summary

Education Scotland procured one interim Business Support Assistant through the Scottish Government’s framework for temporary administrative, catering and manual staffing. The requirement is for business support work, within the wider category of temporary administrative staffing. The buying organisation is Education Scotland, and the service is for delivery in Scotland. The procurement was structured as a single lot for one assistant. This is a staffing requirement rather than a purchase of equipment or a broader consultancy service, so it is most relevant to recruitment and temporary staffing providers able to supply business support personnel for public sector organisations.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to ASA Recruitment (Quick Quotes). It used an open procedure and was run as one lot under the Scottish Government framework for temporary administrative, catering and manual staffing. The contract is valued at £36,663. It was signed on 10 September 2026 and is recorded as active. One bid was received, from an SME, and that supplier was selected. The published information does not state an award date or a contract duration, so neither is included here. The requirement was for one interim Business Support Assistant; there were no separate lot awards or supplier allocations to distinguish.

This award shows a focused requirement for a single interim business support assistant, sourced through a public sector staffing framework rather than as a wider administrative services contract. A recruitment or temporary staffing business able to identify and supply an appropriate business support worker is the closest fit. The successful provider was an SME, demonstrating that a smaller supplier competed successfully on this requirement. To be credible for a comparable requirement from Education Scotland, a supplier would need to be able to resource one interim placement and operate within the relevant public sector framework route. The award does not establish specific qualifications, accreditations or experience requirements beyond the business support staffing need.
