Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Northumbria Police procured external technical resource for short-term support to digital project delivery. The requirement is a services contract focused on supplying IT professionals who can contribute to the buyer’s digital projects as needed. The provider is expected to have access to a pool of pre-vetted candidates, allowing Northumbria Police to draw on suitable technical personnel rather than appointing a single fixed project team. The work is delivered for Northumbria Police in the North East of England. The procurement is classified as recruitment services, but its practical focus is the provision of technical project personnel. It is suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and was managed by Northumbria Police.

The procurement has been completed and awarded. Northumbria Police selected Permanent Futures Ltd on 14 July 2026. The award value is £450,000, and the contract runs from 20 July 2026 to 19 July 2029. It was a selective call-off from the Crown Commercial Service GCA Framework RM6277, Lot 3 for IT Professionals, rather than a standalone open tender. Bids closed at 12:00 on 3 July 2026. The requirement was evaluated through the framework call-off process. The awarded contract covers the supply of short-term technical resource to support digital project delivery, with the successful supplier providing access to pre-vetted candidates.

This procurement indicates that Northumbria Police uses an established public-sector framework to obtain flexible technical personnel for digital project delivery. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need access to a reliable pool of pre-vetted IT professionals who can provide short-term support across digital projects. Relevant capability is likely to include the ability to identify suitable technical specialists quickly, check their suitability before deployment and manage their provision as an external resource. Businesses that can support public-sector framework call-offs and demonstrate dependable access to qualified IT professionals are the closest fit. The opportunity is particularly relevant to SMEs with an established technical recruitment or resource-supply operation serving the North East.
