Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The National Archives procured contingent labour in the form of a senior interaction designer. The work falls within temporary personnel supply services (CPV 79620000) and is a professional design role rather than a general staffing requirement. The delivery location is The National Archives in Richmond, England. The procurement is for an individual specialist resource; no further project tasks or outputs are described.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Zebra People Limited. The award date was 6 October 2026, with a contract running from 8 October to 18 December 2026. The awarded value was £34,632. The requirement was let through a selective call-off from a framework agreement. The tender deadline was 6 October 2026. Small and medium-sized enterprises were considered suitable to provide the service. The available evaluation information does not set out scoring criteria or a detailed basis for selecting the supplier.

This award shows that The National Archives buys short-term senior interaction design capacity through framework call-offs, rather than describing a broader design-services programme. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this kind would need to supply an experienced senior interaction designer and be able to provide an individual specialist resource for a defined engagement. Staffing and design suppliers with access to appropriately senior interaction design talent are therefore the closest fit. The selected supplier was an SME, and SMEs were considered suitable for the requirement, indicating that this type of work can be within reach of smaller specialist firms as well as larger recruitment businesses. The procurement provides evidence of demand for contingent design expertise at The National Archives.
