Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Police Digital Service procured an interim business analyst resource. The work falls within business analysis and IT consultancy services, supporting the organisation’s digital service activity. The requirement is for a professional service rather than goods or construction, and is identified as suitable for small and medium-sized businesses. The recorded delivery location is the United Kingdom; no more specific place is attached to the work. The buyer is Police Digital Service, based in London. This is a focused requirement for temporary business analysis capacity, rather than a broad programme of software development or general IT support.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded to Permanent Frutures Ltd. The award was made on 4 September 2026, and the contract runs from 7 September to 27 November 2026. Its awarded value is £47,520. The original estimated value was also £47,520. The buyer used a selective procedure as a call-off from a framework agreement. The tender submission deadline was 4 September 2026 at 12:00. This was a single interim resource requirement, with no lots recorded. The available evaluation information does not set out specific scoring criteria or eligibility requirements beyond identifying the opportunity as suitable for SMEs. The selected supplier is recorded as an SME.

For firms competing when Police Digital Service next requires interim business analysis capacity, this award is evidence of a relatively focused, short-term consultancy engagement rather than a large delivery contract. A credible competitor would need to provide a business analyst able to contribute quickly within a public-sector digital service environment, with capacity to cover a defined interim assignment. The buyer used a framework call-off, so access to a relevant framework and the ability to respond through its call-off process would be commercially important. The successful supplier is an SME, and the requirement was identified as SME-suitable, indicating that smaller consultancies can be relevant competitors. The procurement data does not identify particular tools, qualifications, clearances or sector accreditations as conditions of award.
