Summary of the contracting process

Hampshire and Isle of Wight Constabulary commissioned technology-enabled transformation project management services. The requirement is for a hands-on Technology Enabled Transformation Project Manager to manage delivery of the CMS and Digital Experience Platform (DXP) implementation workstreams. This is a professional services contract for project management consultancy, covering the practical coordination and delivery management needed to implement these digital platforms. The work is to be delivered in the South East of England. The buying organisation is Hampshire and Isle of Wight Constabulary, based at its Police and Fire Headquarters in Eastleigh. The requirement is focused on technology project delivery rather than software supply, construction or general administrative support, making it relevant to consultancies and project management specialists with experience of complex digital transformation programmes.

The procurement has been completed and the contract was awarded on 19 June 2026 to Reed Specialist Recruitment Limited, trading as Consultancy+. The awarded contract value is £273,108, in GBP. The contract period runs from 22 June 2026 to 16 June 2028. The opportunity was procured as a selective call-off from a framework agreement, specifically through the YPO Managing Consultancy and Professional Services framework. The tender submission deadline was 19 June 2026. It was evaluated as a services procurement for project management consultancy. The contracting process has a completed status and the award is active. The contract was awarded as a single requirement rather than being divided into separately described lots, with the work covering the CMS and DXP implementation project-management scope.

This award demonstrates established demand from Hampshire and Isle of Wight Constabulary for specialist technology project-management capability within digital transformation programmes. A credible competitor for similar work would need to provide an experienced project manager able to take hands-on responsibility for delivery, coordinate multiple implementation workstreams and maintain momentum from planning through execution. Relevant experience should include CMS and Digital Experience Platform implementations, technology-enabled organisational change and the management of delivery dependencies, risks, stakeholders and suppliers. The route to market also shows the importance of access to an appropriate consultancy and professional services framework, particularly for businesses targeting call-off work rather than standalone open tenders. SMEs were considered suitable for the requirement, so smaller specialist consultancies with demonstrable digital delivery experience may be well placed when comparable work is next considered.
