Summary of the contracting process

The Police Digital Service procured an interim People Advisor resource as a professional services requirement for delivery in the United Kingdom. The work is intended to provide temporary people and human-resources advisory support to the buyer. Although the procurement classification is CPV 72000000, covering IT consulting, software development, internet and support services, the stated requirement is specifically for a People Advisor rather than a general IT delivery role. The buying organisation is the Police Digital Service, based at 20 Gresham Street, London. This opportunity is therefore relevant to suppliers providing interim HR, people advisory or related workforce support, particularly those able to work with a public-sector digital service and deliver services across the UK.

The procurement has been completed and awarded. It used a selective procedure as a call-off from a framework agreement. The tender submission deadline was 28 August 2026 at 12:00. The contract was awarded to Permanent Futures Ltd. on 28 August 2026 for £74,970 including the stated currency, GBP. The contract period runs from 1 September 2026 to 28 February 2027. The award is recorded as active, and the tender is recorded as complete. The procurement was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The published information describes the requirement and route to market, but does not set out an award weighting or other evaluation basis. The buyer is the Police Digital Service.

This award demonstrates a defined requirement for interim People Advisor support within the Police Digital Service and shows that the buyer uses a framework call-off route for this type of service. The selected supplier, Permanent Futures Ltd., is recorded as an SME, indicating that the requirement can be delivered by a specialist smaller provider rather than only a large consultancy. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need to provide suitably experienced interim people or HR advisory resource, understand the expectations of a public-sector buyer, and be eligible to compete through the relevant framework arrangement. Suppliers tracking this buyer should use the requirement as evidence of demand for focused, temporary people-advisory support linked to a digital public service.
