Summary of the contracting process

The Police Digital Service procured an interim Project Manager resource for IT services. The requirement sits within the broad field of IT consulting, software development, internet and support services, with the specific need described as an interim Project Manager. Delivery is for the United Kingdom. The buying organisation is the Police Digital Service, based in London. This is a professional services requirement rather than a purchase of goods, construction or a software product. It is relevant to businesses that provide experienced project management resource for public-sector digital or technology programmes, particularly suppliers able to provide an individual or team for a defined interim assignment. The procurement was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, but not for voluntary, community or social enterprises.

The procurement has been completed and awarded following a selective call-off from a framework agreement. The contract was awarded to Permanent Futures Ltd on 28 August 2026 for GBP 40,950. The contract period runs from 1 September 2026 to 30 November 2026. The tender submission deadline was 28 August 2026 at 12:00. The award covers the interim Project Manager resource for IT services in the United Kingdom. Permanent Futures Ltd is identified as an SME supplier. The published procurement value and awarded value are both GBP 40,950. One supplier is identified as receiving the award. The process is therefore an outcome from a framework call-off, rather than a standalone open competition.

This procurement demonstrates demand from the Police Digital Service for interim project management capability within its technology and digital environment. A credible competitor for a similar requirement would need to supply an experienced Project Manager who can work effectively on public-sector IT activity, manage delivery across stakeholders and provide practical support for a defined assignment. Relevant businesses include specialist interim management providers, digital transformation consultancies and smaller IT services firms with access to suitably experienced project professionals. Framework access is commercially important because this requirement was placed through a framework call-off, so suppliers seeking comparable work with this buyer would need an appropriate route to participate. The requirement also indicates that an SME-sized supplier can compete for this type of assignment.
