UK6 - Contract Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Oldham Metropolitan Borough Council procured an on-site Senior Field Service Technical Specialist focused on Microsoft technologies. The requirement is for specialist technical support delivered at the council in Oldham. It was described as a service under an ESPO framework for strategic human resources and recruitment services, and classified as computer support services. The council is the buyer; the work is based in Oldham, Greater Manchester. The specialist role combines field service with Microsoft technology expertise, providing the council with technical capability on site rather than a general recruitment service.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Nash Squared Limited. The award was made on 22 October 2026, with a contract period from 2 November 2026 to 31 January 2027. The awarded value is £29,500 excluding VAT (£35,400 including VAT). There was one lot. The council used a direct award below the relevant threshold, without competition, through the ESPO framework. The award is active. The published procurement data does not set out an evaluation basis or additional participation criteria.

This award demonstrates demand from Oldham Council for a short-term, on-site technical specialist with strong Microsoft technologies capability and field service expertise. A supplier seeking to meet a similar requirement for this buyer would need to provide an appropriately experienced individual able to work at the council’s Oldham location and deliver hands-on technical support. The route used was a direct award through an existing ESPO strategic HR and recruitment services framework, rather than an open competition, so framework access and the ability to supply specialist personnel through that route are commercially relevant. The scale is an individual specialist engagement over a limited period, making credible access to suitable talent and the capacity to place them on site important.
