UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

South Kesteven District Council procured temporary staffing services for a Senior Information Governance Officer. The requirement is for a senior professional to support information governance work on a temporary basis, supplied through a public-sector procurement framework. The buying organisation is South Kesteven District Council, based in Grantham. The service is categorised as business services, covering areas such as consulting, recruitment, legal and security-related support. The selected supplier is Penna PLC, a large UK recruitment and professional staffing company. This opportunity is relevant to recruitment businesses, staffing agencies and specialist professional services providers able to identify and supply suitably senior information governance personnel for public-sector assignments. It may also interest firms that provide interim governance, compliance or information management specialists through established frameworks.

The procurement has been completed and awarded under a selective below-threshold route using a framework, without a competitive call-off. It comprised one completed lot, and the award was made to Penna PLC. The contract was signed and began on 17 August 2026, running until 13 November 2026. Its value is £37,000 excluding VAT, or £44,400 including VAT. The award is for services and the contract is active. The process was not evaluated through a competitive procedure for this call-off. The outcome shows that the council used an existing framework to appoint a supplier for a defined temporary staffing requirement, rather than running an open tender. No separate award date is recorded; the contract signing date marks the start of the awarded arrangement.

For suppliers that did not win this procurement, the award provides a clear example of South Kesteven District Council’s demand for senior, temporary information governance personnel. A credible future supplier would need access to suitably experienced information governance officers and the ability to place them promptly into a short-term council assignment. Recruitment and interim staffing firms with a public-sector framework route, strong candidate networks and experience supplying specialist professional staff are the closest fit. Providers should be able to evidence reliable candidate identification, vetting, employment or contracting arrangements, and support throughout an assignment. The selected supplier’s recruitment focus indicates that the council accepted a specialist staffing solution rather than a broad information technology delivery contract, so capability in sourcing people is central to competing for similar requirements.
