Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Police Digital Service bought interim business analysis services: a Business Analyst resource providing consultancy support. The work is classified within IT services and is intended to support the buyer’s digital service activity. The buyer is the Police Digital Service, based in London, and the delivery location is stated as the United Kingdom. This is a services requirement rather than a purchase of software or equipment. Small and medium-sized enterprises were considered suitable for this requirement, while voluntary, community and social enterprises were not identified as suitable. The named supplier, Permanent Futures Ltd, is a small business, illustrating the type of supplier that delivered the resource.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded. The Police Digital Service selected Permanent Futures Ltd, with the award dated 25 September 2026. The awarded value is £39,600. The contract runs from 28 September to 31 December 2026. The stated tender estimate was £36,900. The requirement was procured as a selective call-off from a framework agreement, rather than as a standalone open competition. The tender response deadline was 25 September 2026 at 12:00. The available details identify the requirement as one interim Business Analyst resource; no separate lots or evaluation criteria are set out in the process information.

This award demonstrates demand from the Police Digital Service for interim business analysis capacity, supplied through a framework call-off. A credible competitor when this specific requirement next reaches the market would need to provide an experienced Business Analyst able to join on an interim basis and deliver IT-related consultancy support. The work is suited to small and medium-sized suppliers, as the successful provider is itself a small business. Suppliers should be able to provide the resource through an applicable framework route and respond to a short-duration assignment for a UK-based public-sector buyer. The commercial fit is strongest for recruitment and consulting businesses with access to appropriately skilled analysts and the capacity to place them quickly for time-limited engagements.
