Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Insolvency Service procured procurement business partner resources: personnel supply services to support its procurement function. The requirement is classified as the supply of personnel, including temporary staff (CPV 79620000), although the procurement is categorised as works. Delivery covers the United Kingdom. The appointed supplier is 1st Executive Limited, an SME based in Send, Woking. The opportunity is relevant to recruitment and personnel providers, procurement consultancy businesses and organisations able to supply experienced procurement business partners or temporary procurement staff for a public sector buyer. The requirement concerns resourcing rather than construction or physical works, so suppliers should focus on their ability to provide suitable procurement professionals and manage their deployment for the Insolvency Service.

The procurement is complete and was awarded on 19 June 2026 to 1st Executive Limited. The award value is £611,490 including the stated currency of GBP, with a contract period from 22 June 2026 to 30 September 2027. The tender submission deadline was 5 June 2026 at 12:00. The process used a selective procedure and was a call-off from a framework agreement, rather than an open competition. The contract is recorded as active. The procurement was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and not reserved for voluntary, community or social enterprises. The award covers the procurement business partner resources requirement for the Insolvency Service across the United Kingdom.

This award demonstrates a defined public sector demand for procurement business partner resources and shows that the requirement can be fulfilled by an SME through a framework call-off. A credible future competitor would need access to procurement professionals who can operate as business partners within a government organisation, together with the capacity to supply and manage personnel rather than provide only advisory reports. Suppliers should be able to understand public procurement environments, match appropriately experienced staff to the buyer’s needs and support delivery across the United Kingdom. Recruitment businesses, specialist procurement resourcing providers and framework suppliers with an established pool of qualified procurement practitioners are the closest fit. The buyer’s use of a framework also makes framework access and effective call-off delivery commercially important.
