Summary of the contracting process

The Information Commissioner’s Office procured temporary recruitment services for Case Officers. The requirement was to recruit temporary Case Officers, with delivery in the North West of England. This is a staffing and recruitment opportunity for suppliers able to source and place temporary personnel for a public-sector organisation.

The procurement is complete and Search Consultancy was selected for the contract. The award was made on 7 October 2026, following a selective call-off from a framework agreement. The awarded value is £274,836. The contract period runs from 12 October 2026 to 31 March 2027. The tender submission deadline was 5 October 2026. The procurement was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. No lots are recorded.

This award demonstrates demand from the Information Commissioner’s Office for temporary Case Officer recruitment, delivered through a framework call-off. Recruitment agencies with the ability to source and place suitable temporary casework staff would be well placed to compete for a comparable requirement. The procurement was considered suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, indicating that a supplier need not be a large business to be relevant. The scale is a time-limited staffing requirement rather than a long-term service contract. A credible competitor would need relevant recruitment capacity and the ability to meet the ICO’s requirement for temporary Case Officers.
