## Summary

Forestry and Land Scotland bought interim staffing services for an interim Head of Finance role. The requirement was a six-month finance leadership placement, with a possible extension, delivered in Scotland. It was called off from a national framework for interim IT staff services. The work is therefore suited to providers able to supply experienced interim finance leadership through an applicable framework.

The procurement is complete and the contract is active. Venesky Brown Ltd was selected for the single call-off. The call-off was described as a direct award from an existing framework; the recorded procurement method is open procedure. The contract was signed on 25 September 2026 and is valued at £172,744. The stated contract duration is six months, with an option to extend for a further six months. One bid was recorded. The requirement was not divided into separate lots. No award date or evaluation criteria are stated in the process information.

For suppliers considering similar future requirements from Forestry and Land Scotland, this award demonstrates demand for interim finance leadership supplied through a framework call-off. Credible competitors would need to provide an experienced interim Head of Finance able to take on a senior finance role for a defined period, and to meet the buyer’s framework route to market. The recorded award went to a large staffing supplier; the bid count shows that one bid was recorded for this call-off.
