The Scottish Government’s Directorate for Digital is procuring an advanced service management solution to support its expanding suite of digital public services, including ScotAccount, ScotPayments, mygov.scot, and the Cloud Platform Services. The solution must enable rapid scaling of service operations as demand, complexity, and customer expectations grow, while maintaining resilience, security, and operational efficiency. By delivering a technology‑enabled framework, the procurement seeks to reduce risks to service quality, productivity, revenue, and public trust, thereby fostering continued development of Scotland’s digital public‑service landscape.

The awarded solution will provide a comprehensive platform for monitoring, incident management, and performance analytics across all digital offerings, and it must embed industry‑best practices for secure, high‑availability operations. It should also demonstrate support for evolving regulatory and interoperability standards, and facilitate future upgrades without imposing significant re‑engineering costs. Compliance with the Scottish Government’s information‑security and resilience standards is a required technical feature.

Zero Waste Scotland is procuring a digital technology solution that empowers businesses to quantify and communicate the commercial advantages of adopting circular economy practices. The platform should enable enterprises to showcase benefits that are frequently overlooked by standard assessment tools—such as supply chain resilience, resource security, customer retention, and reduced exposure to market shocks—thereby enhancing investor confidence and supporting capital allocation decisions.

The solution must be intuitive and evidence‑based, integrating these expanded benefits into both corporate and investment decision‑making processes while generating actionable insights to inform future support and policy development. By facilitating a more comprehensive evaluation of circular initiatives, the tool will accelerate the uptake of sustainable practices and help Scotland realise its transition to a resilient, circular economy.

The solution must be an evidence‑based, intuitive digital platform that quantifies and integrates supply chain resilience, resource security, customer retention, and market shock resilience into business and investment assessments.

The NatureScot‑led Peatland ACTION programme is a Scottish Government initiative designed to accelerate the restoration of degraded peatlands across the country, thereby enhancing carbon sequestration, biodiversity and water‑quality benefits.

These professionals will collaborate closely with the Peatland ACTION Technical Team and Project Officers situated nationwide, helping to ensure that restoration work is evidence‑based and ecologically sound.

The role requires field ecologists to collect, analyze and report on biological data for a portfolio of peatland restoration projects. Their work will involve conducting species inventories, habitat assessments and monitoring protocols that guide restoration planning and adaptive management. The contract is recurrent, with additional notices to be issued before the current term expires, and will be awarded on a quality basis that emphasises key personnel expertise.

Applicants must possess advanced skills in peatland ecology and be able to conduct comprehensive species and habitat surveys.
