Summary of the contracting process

HM Treasury procured contingent specialist labour to support finance systems, data and process improvement. The work is classified as data analysis services and is intended to provide expertise across finance systems, data and business processes rather than a specified standalone software or technology purchase. Delivery is in London, at HM Treasury’s offices on Horse Guards Road. This is a services requirement, with the work focused on supplying specialist people to help improve and support the department’s finance systems and related data and processes.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Robertson Bell Limited. HM Treasury used a selective call-off from a framework agreement. The award was made on 24 September 2026, at a value of £98,000. The contract runs from 28 September 2026 to 26 March 2027. The original estimated value was also £98,000, and the submission deadline was 28 August 2026. The published information describes one requirement, with no separate lots identified. Small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises were considered suitable to participate. The award information does not state the evaluation criteria used to select the supplier.

For suppliers competing for comparable HM Treasury requirements, this award demonstrates demand for specialist contingent labour combining finance-system knowledge with data and process-improvement expertise. A credible provider would need to identify and supply people able to work across those disciplines and support practical improvements in a government finance environment. The call-off route shows that the buyer sourced this requirement through a framework agreement, so relevant framework access and the ability to respond to a call-off would be commercially important. The supplier selected was a small business, and the procurement was marked suitable for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises. This points to a requirement that can be delivered by a focused specialist provider, rather than necessarily requiring a large generalist consultancy.
