Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Office for Standards in Education, Children’s Services and Skills (Ofsted) procured temporary personnel services for a higher data development officer. The requirement is for a data-focused professional to support the organisation’s development work, supplied on a temporary basis. It falls within personnel supply services (CPV 79620000) and is classified as a services contract. Delivery is in England. The named buying organisation is Ofsted, based at Piccadilly Gate in Manchester. This opportunity is relevant to temporary staffing providers and recruitment businesses able to identify and supply suitably experienced data development professionals for public-sector assignments. It is a single role requirement rather than a broad technology delivery or managed data-services contract.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Adecco UK Ltd on 20 March 2026. It used a selective procedure as a call-off from a framework agreement. The tender deadline was 16 March 2026 at 17:00. The initial contract period ran from 23 March to 31 July 2026, with an initial value of £25,126.92 including VAT. It was extended to 2 October 2026, with an updated value of £37,276.20 including VAT; the maximum extension is to 31 July 2027, giving a maximum value of £59,918.04 including VAT. The award value is £37,276.20 including VAT, for the contract period from 23 March to 2 October 2026.

For suppliers that did not win this award, the procurement demonstrates a defined requirement for temporary higher-level data development staff within Ofsted. A credible competitor would need access to professionals with data development capability, together with the recruitment, vetting and account-management capacity to place and support an individual in a public-sector environment. The route to market is significant: this requirement was awarded through a framework call-off, so suppliers seeking comparable work with Ofsted would need an appropriate framework position or a route into one. The award also indicates that the buyer uses temporary staffing for focused data roles rather than procuring only permanent recruitment or large-scale technology programmes.
