Summary of the contracting process

HM Treasury procured contingent labour to support its departmental risk work. The requirement is a recruitment service for supplying a contingent worker to the Treasury’s risk team, with delivery in the United Kingdom. This is a services opportunity rather than a goods supply or construction project. The buyer is HM Treasury, based at 1 Horse Guards Road, London. The work is focused on providing temporary workforce capacity for risk-related departmental activity. Businesses operating in recruitment, contingent workforce supply and specialist staffing may find the requirement relevant, particularly those able to identify and provide suitable workers for public sector risk functions and manage the associated supply arrangements.

The procurement has been completed and was awarded on 19 August 2026 to Allen Lane Limited. The awarded value is £72,000. The contract period runs from 7 September 2026 to 29 January 2027. HM Treasury used a selective procedure and made a call-off from a framework agreement. Bids were due by 10 August 2026 at 12:00. The contract covers one requirement for contingent labour and has a total estimated value of £72,000. The award is recorded as active, and the contract period is the same as the awarded period. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and was evaluated through the framework call-off process.

This award shows that HM Treasury uses framework call-offs to obtain contingent labour for departmental risk work, creating a useful benchmark for recruitment and staffing businesses targeting this buyer. A credible future supplier would need a framework route that permits the relevant call-off, strong access to contingent workers, and the ability to respond to a defined public sector requirement efficiently. Experience supplying temporary staff for risk-related functions would be directly relevant. Suppliers should also be able to understand the buyer’s departmental environment, present suitable candidates, manage placement arrangements and support delivery throughout the assignment. The requirement was considered suitable for SMEs, so smaller specialist recruitment firms may be well placed where they can demonstrate reliable candidate sourcing and public sector delivery capability.
