## Summary

The Office for Standards in Education, Children’s Services and Skills (Ofsted) procured temporary data architect personnel. The requirement is for a data architect supplied on a temporary basis to support the organisation’s work. It is a personnel supply service rather than a purchase of goods or construction work, classified under CPV 79620000 for supplying personnel, including temporary staff. Delivery is in England, United Kingdom. The named buyer is Ofsted, based in Manchester. The opportunity is therefore relevant to recruitment agencies, temporary staffing providers and specialist resourcing businesses able to supply data architecture professionals for public sector assignments. It is also identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Adecco UK Ltd on 2 June 2026 for £110,799.48 including VAT. The contract runs from 8 June 2026 to 6 November 2026. It was a selective call-off from a framework agreement, with bids due by 5pm on 1 June 2026. The original period was 8 June to 8 September 2026 at £67,486.96 including VAT; an August 2026 extension varied the end date to 6 November 2026 and revised the value to £110,799.48 including VAT. The maximum period is until 8 March 2027, with a maximum contract value of £193,395.46 including VAT. The completed tender had a maximum estimated value of £193,395.46 and a minimum estimated value of £110,799.48.

This award demonstrates a defined requirement from Ofsted for temporary data architecture resource, delivered through a framework call-off and suitable for SMEs. Businesses that recruit or supply interim technology professionals, particularly data architects, are the most relevant competitors for a future requirement of this kind. A credible supplier would need access to suitably qualified data architecture candidates, the ability to place temporary personnel with a public sector buyer, and the operational capacity to manage an assignment through its agreed term and any extension. Framework membership or access to an applicable staffing framework would be important, since this purchase used a framework call-off. Specialist staffing providers can use this award as evidence of demand from Ofsted for interim data expertise.
