Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Equality and Human Rights Commission appointed a temporary agency IT Engineer through a call-off from the Crown Commercial Service’s Non Clinical Staffing Framework. The requirement is to provide an IT engineering professional rather than a wider IT project or technology supply. The service is for delivery in the North West of England. The Commission is the buying organisation, and the procurement is categorised as a service. The opportunity was marked as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The selected supplier is Hays Specialist Recruitment Limited.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Hays Specialist Recruitment Limited on 21 September 2026. The published award value is recorded as £0, so it does not provide a usable contract price. The contract period runs from 22 September 2026 to 31 March 2027. This was a selective framework call-off, not an open competition; responses were due by 18 September 2026 at 13:00. The requirement was for one temporary agency IT Engineer. The published information does not set out specific evaluation criteria or detailed eligibility requirements beyond the framework route and SME suitability.

This award shows demand from the Equality and Human Rights Commission for temporary IT engineering capacity supplied through an established public-sector staffing framework. Hays Specialist Recruitment Limited was selected, indicating that a credible competitor for a similar requirement would need to provide appropriately qualified IT engineering professionals on an agency basis and be able to fulfil a short, defined placement in the North West. Access to the relevant framework, and the operational capacity to source and place suitable engineers, are central to this buying route. The work is a focused staffing requirement rather than a large-scale systems delivery contract, so recruitment firms with public-sector framework experience and a dependable IT candidate network are the most directly relevant competitors. The award provides evidence of the buyer’s use of this route for temporary IT staffing.
