Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Department of Health and Social Care procured contingent labour in the form of an interim senior financial accountant. The requirement falls within personnel supply services, covering the provision of temporary professional staff rather than a permanent appointment. The work is for the Department’s operations in London, with the stated delivery address at 39 Victoria Street, London SW1H 0EU. This opportunity is relevant to specialist recruitment firms, interim management providers and accountancy staffing businesses able to supply senior financial accounting professionals for public-sector work. The named requirement is focused on one interim finance role, so suppliers with a clear capability in sourcing experienced financial accountants are the closest fit.

The procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. The Department of Health and Social Care used a selective procedure to make a call-off from a framework agreement. The contract was awarded to ROBERTSON BELL LTD on 14 July 2026 for £94,250, inclusive of the stated contract value in GBP. The contract period runs from 21 July 2026 to 22 January 2027. The tender submission deadline was 20 July 2026 at 12:00. The awarded supplier is identified as an SME. The procurement was for a single interim senior financial accountant requirement, with the award made through the existing framework route rather than an open competition.

Although this contract has already been awarded, it provides a useful benchmark for suppliers targeting similar Department of Health and Social Care requirements. A credible competitor would need access to experienced senior financial accountants who can work on an interim basis in London and support a central government department. Relevant businesses include specialist finance recruitment agencies, accountancy consultancies and framework suppliers with reliable candidate pipelines. The requirement points to the value of combining senior financial accounting expertise with rapid contingent-labour delivery, public-sector onboarding and the operational capacity to support a defined interim placement. Suppliers should also be able to compete through an appropriate framework call-off route, as the buyer used that route for this appointment.
