UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Ordnance Survey Limited contracted for a temporary agency worker to provide additional resource and support to its organisation. The supplier is to provide a suitably qualified and experienced individual to carry out the required role in line with Ordnance Survey’s requirements. This is temporary staffing and recruitment work, rather than a broader recruitment-services programme. Delivery is in the United Kingdom. The procurement covers one worker and one requirement; the role itself is not described in further detail. The contract is intended to support the organisation for a defined period.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded to IRG Advisors LLP. Ordnance Survey used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition. The contract was signed on 9 October 2026 and runs from 12 October 2026 to 11 April 2027. Its value is £135,000 excluding VAT (£162,000 including VAT). There was one lot, covering the temporary agency worker requirement. The stated basis was provision of an individual with suitable qualifications and experience to undertake the required role in accordance with Ordnance Survey’s requirements; no further evaluation criteria are set out.

This award shows demand at Ordnance Survey for short-term specialist capacity supplied through an agency arrangement. A credible competitor for a similar requirement would need to source and supply an individual whose qualifications and experience match the buyer’s defined role, and provide support for a fixed assignment period. The buyer’s use of a below-threshold direct award without competition indicates that this particular procurement was not competed; it does not establish a competitive selection standard. Suppliers active in temporary staffing and recruitment may find the requirement relevant if they can identify appropriately qualified people and fulfil a defined organisational support need. The role and its professional discipline are not described here, so the award alone does not establish which specialist talent pool would be needed.
