## Summary

The Care Inspectorate bought consultancy to develop a Digital, Data and AI Strategy. The requirement was called off from the Scottish Government’s dynamic purchasing system for digital technology and cyber services. It concerns strategy work for the Care Inspectorate, whose address is in Dundee; the stated delivery area is Scotland. The procurement is classified as services, with a focus on business and technology consultancy. This is a defined strategy assignment rather than a general purchase of software or hardware.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded to Scott Logic Ltd. The call-off was run using an open procedure through the Scottish Government dynamic purchasing system. One lot was used. The contract is valued at £40,300 and runs from 1 September to 31 December 2026. It was signed on 29 September 2026. Thirteen bids were recorded, including 11 from small and medium-sized enterprises. The published information does not state the evaluation criteria, so the basis on which bids were compared cannot be described.

This award shows demand from the Care Inspectorate for a focused Digital, Data and AI Strategy, sourced through a dynamic purchasing system covering digital technology and cyber services. A future competitor would need to demonstrate the ability to provide strategy consultancy relevant to digital, data and artificial intelligence, and to operate within the scope of that purchasing route. The award went to a large supplier, while the recorded competition also included substantial SME participation, indicating that smaller firms have competed for this type of work. The short, defined assignment is evidence of a contained consultancy requirement rather than a large-scale technology implementation.
