## Summary

Disclosure Scotland bought software development and testing services for its operation at Pacific Quay in Glasgow. The requirement was titled Software Developer in Test and formed one lot. It was a call-off from the Scottish Government’s Interim IT Staff Services framework, for interim IT staffing rather than a broader software delivery or systems supply project. The buyer is Disclosure Scotland, whose public functions include disclosure checking and public safety. The work was to be delivered in Glasgow. The available description identifies the role but does not set out specific software platforms, testing methods, team structure or deliverables, so the requirement is best understood as provision of a software developer in test through the framework route.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded to Venesky-Brown Recruitment Ltd. Disclosure Scotland used an open procedure as a call-off from the Scottish Government’s Interim IT Staff Services framework; one bid was recorded. The contract was signed on 18 September 2026 and is active, with a value of £249,100. No award date or contract start and end dates are recorded. The single lot covers the Software Developer in Test requirement. The lot may be extended for up to 17 months. The data gives no separate evaluation criteria or eligibility requirements, so it does not establish how bids were assessed beyond the recorded open procedure and framework call-off.

This award confirms demand from Disclosure Scotland for interim software development and testing capability, purchased through the Scottish Government’s Interim IT Staff Services framework. Suppliers seeking to compete for a comparable requirement would need to be able to provide a software developer in test as interim IT staff and to operate within that framework’s call-off route. The award value indicates a substantial individual staffing requirement, while the possible extension points to a need for continuity over a longer assignment. The published requirement does not identify particular programming languages, testing tools, certifications, delivery methodology or team size, so there is no supported basis for treating any of these as required. The commercially relevant capability is supplying suitably experienced software development and testing personnel to this buyer under the framework.
