Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Police Digital Service procured an interim Change Manager resource as an information technology service. The work is intended to provide change management capability for the buyer’s digital and technology activities, with delivery in the United Kingdom. The requirement sits within the services category and is specifically focused on an interim management role rather than a general technology supply contract. The buyer is the Police Digital Service, based in London. The selected supplier, Permanent Futures Ltd., is a Leeds-based small and medium-sized enterprise. This opportunity is therefore most relevant to specialist recruitment, consultancy or professional services businesses able to provide experienced interim change management professionals for public sector digital and technology programmes.

The procurement has been completed and was awarded to Permanent Futures Ltd. on 31 July 2026. It used a selective call-off from a framework agreement, with the tender submission deadline on 31 July 2026 at 12:00. The awarded contract value is £47,232 including the stated currency of GBP. The contract runs from 3 August 2026 to 6 November 2026. The tender was marked complete, and the award is active. The procurement was identified as an information technology service and was suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The award covers the interim Change Manager resource for the Police Digital Service. The award value is stated for this contract and should not be treated as a wider framework value.

For a supplier that did not win this procurement, the requirement demonstrates demand from the Police Digital Service for short-term, specialist change management support within digital and technology work. A credible competitor would need to identify and supply an experienced interim Change Manager able to operate effectively in a public sector technology environment and take responsibility for managing organisational or programme change. Relevant capability is likely to include structured change planning, stakeholder engagement, communications, transition support and coordination across technology and business teams, although the procurement does not set out specific qualifications or accreditations. The selected provider was an SME, indicating that this type of requirement can be delivered by a focused specialist business rather than only by a large systems integrator. The route was a framework call-off, so framework access and compliant call-off delivery would be important.
