Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Police Digital Service procured an interim DevOps Engineer resource as an IT services engagement covering software development, internet and support activities. The work is delivered in the United Kingdom and is intended to provide specialist engineering capacity for the buyer’s digital service needs. This is a services requirement rather than a purchase of goods or construction works. The named buyer is the Police Digital Service, based in London. The requirement is suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, making it relevant to specialist technology consultancies, digital engineering firms and technical recruitment or resourcing providers able to supply an appropriately experienced DevOps professional for an interim assignment. The classification is CPV 72000000, covering IT services including consulting, software development, internet and support.

The procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. It used a selective procedure through a call-off from a framework agreement. The contract was awarded to Permanent Futures Ltd. on 21 August 2026 for £46,800. The contract period runs from 24 August 2026 to 13 November 2026. The tender submission deadline was 21 August 2026 at 5pm. This was a single requirement for an interim DevOps Engineer resource, with the procurement treated as an IT services contract. The award is active. The successful supplier is a small or medium-sized enterprise. The published outcome identifies the Police Digital Service as buyer and Permanent Futures Ltd. as the selected supplier. No separate lots or alternative award recipients are recorded.

For suppliers that did not win, this procurement provides a clear indication of the Police Digital Service’s need for short-term DevOps engineering capacity and its use of framework call-offs to source it. A credible future competitor would need to provide an experienced DevOps engineer for an interim assignment, with practical capability spanning software development, internet-based services and technical support. Providers should also be able to supply an individual resource quickly through a public-sector framework route and manage the administrative requirements of a framework call-off. The award to a small or medium-sized enterprise shows that the requirement can be delivered by a focused specialist provider rather than only by a large systems integrator. Relevant firms include specialist IT consultancies, digital delivery businesses and technical resourcing agencies.
