Summary of the contracting process

The Police Digital Service procured an interim business analyst resource, categorised as IT consulting services. The requirement was for business analysis support; the procurement identifies delivery in the United Kingdom. This is a service requirement rather than a purchase of goods or works. The buyer is the Police Digital Service.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Permanent Futures Ltd. The award was made on 25 September 2026, following a selective call-off from a framework agreement. The contract runs from 28 September 2026 to 31 March 2027. The awarded value is £96,558. The original tender deadline was 25 September 2026 at noon. Small and medium-sized enterprises were considered suitable to participate. The award record identifies one supplier and one service requirement; no separate lot awards are described.

This award demonstrates demand from the Police Digital Service for interim business analysis capability through a framework call-off. A competing supplier would need to provide business analysts able to work in an interim capacity and deliver IT-related consulting support for the buyer’s needs. The procurement was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized businesses, so this type of requirement may be relevant to specialist consultancies and recruitment or resourcing firms with access to appropriately experienced analysts. Credibility for a similar requirement would depend on demonstrating that the proposed resource can provide effective business analysis within a public-sector digital services context and can be supplied through the relevant framework route.
