Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

HM Treasury commissioned services to develop an attraction strategy for careers in the Government Finance Function. The work supports efforts to attract people to careers across the government finance profession, combining career guidance with consulting and related support services. It is categorised primarily as services, with the classification also covering IT consulting, software development, internet and support services, and career guidance. Delivery is associated with HM Treasury at 1 Horse Guards Road, London, and the procurement records London as the relevant location. The buyer is HM Treasury. The requirement is therefore relevant to organisations providing recruitment attraction, employer-brand, careers, workforce communications, career guidance or consulting services for public-sector or professional workforces.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded. It used a selective procedure as a call-off from a framework agreement. The tender submission deadline was 1 June 2026 at 5pm, and the award was made on 25 June 2026. Penna PLC was selected for a value of £80,000. The contract runs from 29 June 2026 to 28 June 2027. The award is active and the contract period is one year. The opportunity was evaluated through the framework call-off route rather than an open tender. The procurement was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprise organisations, indicating that the buyer’s route can accommodate organisations of those types.

This award demonstrates demand from HM Treasury for specialist support to attract candidates into a government finance profession. Competitors would need a credible combination of career attraction strategy, employer communications, career guidance and consulting capability, with an understanding of how to present public-sector finance careers to potential applicants. The requirement is suitable for smaller businesses and voluntary, community or social enterprise organisations, so a large corporate structure is not the only apparent route to credibility. Experience of delivering workforce attraction or careers campaigns, translating professional roles into accessible messages, and advising an institutional public-sector client would be commercially relevant when comparable work is next considered. A supplier should also understand how to access and perform effectively through a framework call-off arrangement.
