## Summary

Social Care and Social Work Improvement Scotland (Care Inspectorate) procured job evaluation services using the JEGS methodology. The work supports consistent evaluation of roles and continuity with the organisation’s historic job evaluation outcomes. The service is classified as business and management consultancy (CPV 79414000). Delivery is in Scotland, with Dundee identified as the buyer’s location. This is a single-service requirement for the Care Inspectorate, rather than a wider package of social care delivery or inspection services.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded to Beamans Limited; the contract is active and was signed on 5 October 2026. The stated service period runs from 15 September 2026 to 14 September 2029. The contract value is £250,000, the maximum based on the estimated requirement. There was one lot and one bid. The buyer used a limited procedure without publishing a prior competition, treating the award as an approved non-competitive action. The stated rationale was that the Care Inspectorate has adopted JEGS and Beamans is its sole licensed provider; another methodology would undermine consistency with previous evaluations and could have equal-pay implications. Quality was weighted at 100% and price at 0%.

This award shows recurring demand at the Care Inspectorate for job evaluation that follows the JEGS methodology and remains consistent with historic outcomes. A credible supplier for a future requirement would need the relevant JEGS licence and the ability to deliver evaluations that preserve consistency across roles and previous decisions. The buyer’s rationale identifies technical exclusivity and possible equal-pay consequences as central considerations, so general job-evaluation experience alone may not be sufficient: suppliers would need to demonstrate that their methodology can meet the organisation’s need for comparable outcomes. The selected provider was an SME, showing that this specialist service was delivered by a small business. The route used was a non-competitive award because the buyer regarded the methodology’s licensed provision as exclusive.
