Summary of the contracting process

Greater Lincolnshire Combined County Authority procured an interim Strategic Programme Manager for its Employment and Skills Team. The role provides strategic and programme development support, leads key employment and skills initiatives, develops business cases and supports devolved funding programmes. Its purpose is to help deliver priority workforce and skills outcomes across Greater Lincolnshire. This is management consultancy and programme leadership work, with related business development and project supervision responsibilities. The delivery location is Greater Lincolnshire, with an address in Lincoln also associated with the requirement. The work is aimed at a supplier able to provide senior interim programme leadership in the employment and skills field, rather than a provider of general staffing or unrelated consultancy services.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Permanent Futures Ltd. The award date was 5 October 2026, and the contract runs from 5 October 2026 to 4 February 2027. The recorded award value is £0. The requirement was procured through a selective call-off from a framework agreement. The tender submission deadline was 2 October 2026. The opportunity was presented as a single requirement, not divided into stated lots. The procurement was categorised as a service. No detailed evaluation criteria or eligibility conditions are set out in the available process information, so the basis on which bids were assessed cannot be summarised beyond the stated route and requirement.

For suppliers considering a future requirement of this kind from Greater Lincolnshire Combined County Authority, the award demonstrates demand for senior interim programme leadership focused on employment and skills outcomes. A credible competitor would need to bring strategic programme development capability, lead employment and skills initiatives, build business cases and support devolved funding programmes. Experience connecting workforce priorities with practical programme delivery would be directly relevant. The short-term interim nature of the role points to the need for a supplier able to identify and provide an appropriately senior resource who can contribute quickly across strategy, programme development and delivery support. The recorded suitability settings do not indicate this procurement was intended for SMEs or voluntary, community and social enterprises, and the selected supplier is recorded as a large business.
