Summary of the contracting process

HM Treasury procured interim finance support from a contingent labour supplier, specifically an Assurance Lead. The requirement falls within personnel supply services, covering temporary or interim staff rather than a permanent appointment. The work is associated with HM Treasury and is delivered in London, at or around the department’s Horse Guards Road location. The service is suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and for voluntary, community and social enterprises. Businesses relevant to this opportunity include specialist recruitment agencies, contingent workforce providers and finance staffing firms able to identify and supply an interim professional for an assurance leadership role. The requirement is service-based and focused on providing an appropriately experienced individual to support HM Treasury’s finance assurance activity.

The procurement is complete and was awarded through a selective call-off from a framework agreement. Bids were due by 8 June 2026 at 5pm. HM Treasury awarded the contract to Allen Lane Limited on 25 June 2026 for £72,000 including the stated contract value. The contract period runs from 1 July 2026 to 30 September 2026. The procurement was evaluated as a contingent labour requirement for an interim Finance Support – Assurance Lead. The award is active, and the tender and award describe a single requirement rather than separate lots. The outcome identifies Allen Lane Limited as the selected supplier for the full stated value and contract period.

This award demonstrates demand from HM Treasury for short-term, specialist finance assurance leadership supplied through a framework route. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need access to senior finance professionals who can work in an assurance lead capacity, together with the recruitment and account-management capability to place interim staff quickly and support them throughout a public sector assignment. Relevant suppliers are likely to be specialist public sector recruitment businesses, contingent labour providers and finance consultancy firms with a dependable network of experienced interim candidates. Framework participation or an equivalent route to HM Treasury procurement would be commercially important, as this requirement was awarded as a framework call-off. The opportunity is also relevant to SMEs and VCSEs that can meet the delivery and staffing requirements.
