Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Infected Blood Compensation Authority procured contingent labour for its Finance team. The requirement falls within recruitment services and concerns the provision of temporary or contingent finance personnel to support the Authority’s work. Delivery was in the United Kingdom, with the buying organisation based in Newcastle upon Tyne. This is a services opportunity rather than a goods or construction requirement, and is relevant to recruitment agencies, staffing businesses and specialist providers able to source and supply finance professionals for public sector assignments. The requirement was suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises, indicating that the buyer considered participation by organisations of those types appropriate for this service.

The procurement has been completed and awarded. The Infected Blood Compensation Authority used a selective procedure as a call-off from a framework agreement. The contract was awarded to Investigo on 14 August 2026 for £20,313.60 including the stated currency, GBP. The contract period runs from 28 September 2026 to 30 October 2026. The tender submission deadline was 14 August 2026. The award was active when recorded, and the overall tender status was complete. Evaluation resulted in a single supplier being selected for the finance contingent labour requirement. The arrangement therefore demonstrates the buyer’s use of framework call-offs for short-term recruitment and staffing support.

For recruitment and staffing businesses, this award shows demand from the Infected Blood Compensation Authority for contingent finance labour delivered through a public sector framework route. A credible competitor for a comparable requirement would need an established ability to recruit, vet and supply finance personnel quickly, together with the account management capacity to support a public body and manage a short assignment. Relevant experience in contingent recruitment, temporary staffing and finance-sector roles would strengthen a supplier’s position. Smaller businesses and voluntary, community or social enterprises were considered suitable for this requirement, so a large corporate structure was not essential. Suppliers should be able to demonstrate reliable candidate pipelines, responsive fulfilment and effective administration of placements.
