Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Department of Health and Social Care procured contingent labour in the form of an interim financial accountant. The requirement was for the supply of temporary personnel to support the department’s financial accounting work. Delivery was based at the department’s office at 39 Victoria Street, London, SW1H 0EU, within the United Kingdom. The procurement is categorised as personnel supply services, covering temporary staff and related resourcing. The selected supplier was Robert Bell Ltd, an SME. The requirement was bought for DHSC rather than for a local authority, NHS trust or another public body, so businesses focused on supplying interim finance professionals to central government departments are the closest commercial match.

The procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. DHSC used a selective procedure as a call-off from a framework agreement. The contract was awarded to Robert Bell Ltd on 14 July 2026 for £66,400. The contract period runs from 30 July 2026 to 29 January 2027. The tender’s stated value was also £66,400. The tender submission deadline was 29 July 2026 at 12:00 BST. The published outcome identifies one supplier and one requirement. The available procurement details describe the appointment as an interim financial accountant and the route as a framework call-off; they do not set out a separate weighted evaluation breakdown.

For suppliers that did not win this award, the procurement demonstrates demand from DHSC for interim financial accounting capacity supplied through a public-sector framework. A credible competitor for a comparable requirement would need access to suitably qualified interim financial accountants, the ability to source and place temporary finance personnel, and the operational capacity to support a central government client for a defined assignment. Experience with public-sector procurement, framework call-offs, government finance environments and the associated compliance and reporting expectations would strengthen a supplier’s position. Recruitment firms, specialist accountancy staffing providers and framework-listed businesses with reliable access to interim finance professionals are the closest fit. The awarded supplier was an SME, showing that the requirement was fulfilled by a smaller specialist business.
