## Summary

Social Security Scotland procured the services of one Integration Architect to support its integration architecture requirements. The work is a professional staffing service, delivered for the Scottish public-sector organisation. The requirement was managed as a single lot and was linked to the temporary and interim staff services framework for 2023 to 2027. The role is an individual specialist assignment rather than a broad team or technology delivery contract. Social Security Scotland is based in Dundee; the procurement describes delivery in Scotland. This is relevant to recruitment and staffing suppliers able to provide experienced integration architecture professionals for public-sector assignments, particularly through established temporary and interim staffing arrangements.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Harvey Nash Plc. Social Security Scotland used an open procedure under its temporary and interim staff services framework for 2023 to 2027. Thirteen bids were received for the requirement. The contract was signed on 1 October 2026, with an initial 12-month assignment running from 27 October 2026 to 26 October 2027; the lot description also refers to a 23-month contract and an optional extension period. The recorded contract value is £345,345. The procurement covered one Integration Architect role in a single lot. No separate award date or stated evaluation criteria are recorded in the process data.

For suppliers preparing to compete for a future requirement from Social Security Scotland, this award demonstrates demand for an individual Integration Architect supplied through a temporary and interim staffing framework. A credible competitor would need access to a suitably experienced integration architecture specialist and the ability to fulfil a sustained public-sector assignment. The award followed an open procedure within the named staffing framework, so relevant framework participation and the ability to respond competitively through that route would be important. Thirteen bids were received, including bids from SMEs, indicating competition for this single-specialist requirement. Staffing firms with a proven capability in sourcing and placing integration architects, and the capacity to support a year-long assignment with a possible extension, are best aligned with the buyer’s demonstrated need.
