Summary of the contracting process

Stonewater Limited procured two full-time-equivalent IT technical development resources for its data team, supplied as nearshore operational resource support. The work is personnel provision, covering technical development capacity for the duration of the contract. The listed service classification is supply of personnel, including temporary staff. The recorded delivery location is the United Kingdom. Stonewater Limited, a housing organisation, is the buyer. This requirement centres on providing two technical development staff rather than a wider technology implementation or a general IT support service.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Techwave Consulting UK Limited. Stonewater used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition. The award covers one lot. The contract was signed on 1 October 2026 and runs from 1 October to 31 December 2026. Its gross value is £57,013.20. The award is recorded as active, and the contract is active. The procurement was for two full-time-equivalent technical development resources; the published outcome identifies the supplier but does not provide a separate award amount.

For suppliers seeking comparable work from Stonewater, this award indicates demand for nearshore technical development personnel assigned to a data team, at a small-team scale of two full-time-equivalent resources. Credible competitors would need to provide people with suitable IT technical development capability and the capacity to supply two full-time-equivalent staff over a defined contract term. A staffing or consulting supplier able to mobilise and manage nearshore technical resources would fit the requirement. The buyer used a direct award without competition for this below-threshold purchase, so businesses should recognise that this example was not openly competed. The requirement is specifically for personnel provision to support data-team development work, rather than a broad technology programme.
