Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The National Archives procured contingent-labour services for a content strategist. The work is the provision of temporary personnel, with the requirement focused on content strategy. Delivery is at The National Archives in Richmond, England. The opportunity is relevant to recruitment agencies and staffing suppliers able to source and supply content strategy professionals for a public-sector client. Small and medium-sized enterprises were considered suitable for this requirement.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded to Zebra People Limited. The National Archives used a selective procedure to make a call-off from a framework agreement. The award was made on 2 October 2026, at £59,976. The contract period runs from 5 October 2026 to 17 February 2027. The original submission deadline was 2 October 2026 at 17:00. The procurement was treated as a services requirement and was suitable for SMEs. The published information does not set out separate lots or detailed evaluation criteria.

This award demonstrates demand at The National Archives for contingent content strategy expertise supplied through a framework call-off. Staffing firms serving this buyer should be able to identify and provide a content strategist with skills aligned to the organisation’s content needs, and to mobilise suitable temporary talent for a defined engagement. The selected supplier was a small business, indicating that this scale and route can be served by an SME rather than requiring a large contractor. Recruitment and talent-sourcing capability in content strategy is therefore directly relevant to competing for a similar requirement. The procurement does not describe specific professional accreditations, qualifications or capacity thresholds, so the clearest evidence of fit is the ability to supply appropriately experienced content strategy personnel through the framework route.
