Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Police Digital Service procured an interim Business Analyst resource. This is a professional IT consulting service, within the wider field of software development, internet and support services (CPV 72000000). The work is intended to provide business analysis capability to support the buyer’s digital and technology activities. Delivery is in the United Kingdom. The buying organisation is the Police Digital Service, based in London. The requirement is categorised as a service and was suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. It was awarded to a specialist supplier, showing demand for business analysis support delivered on an interim basis within a public-sector digital service environment.

The procurement is complete and was awarded on 21 August 2026 to Permanent Futures Ltd. The award value was £117,306. The contract runs from 24 August 2026 to 31 March 2027. The tender submission deadline was 21 August 2026 at 5pm. It used a selective procedure and was a call-off from a framework agreement, rather than a standalone open competition. The awarded supplier is a small or medium-sized enterprise. The published procurement information identifies the requirement as an interim Business Analyst resource and evaluates it through the framework call-off process. The award is active, with the Police Digital Service as buyer.

This award is commercially relevant to recruitment, consultancy and professional services businesses that provide interim Business Analysts for public-sector digital and technology programmes. A credible competitor would need demonstrable business analysis capability, including the ability to supply an appropriately experienced interim resource and operate effectively within a public-sector organisation. Framework participation is important because this requirement was placed through a framework call-off, so suppliers outside the relevant route would not be positioned to compete in the same way. The award to an SME shows that the scale and delivery model can suit smaller specialist firms, provided they can provide reliable resourcing and relevant IT consulting expertise for the Police Digital Service.
