## Summary

The Information Commissioner’s Office procured one interim Director of People Services through a recruitment services call-off. The requirement is for an experienced interim people-services leader to provide senior direction of the organisation’s people function. Delivery is in the North West of England. The buying organisation is the Information Commissioner’s Office, based at Wycliffe House in Wilmslow. The procurement is categorised in the source data as goods, although its stated scope is an interim professional leadership appointment and the associated classification is recruitment services (CPV 79600000). The requirement was suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprise organisations, indicating that organisations of those types could participate in the procurement route.

This procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. It used a selective call-off from a framework agreement, specifically the Government Commercial Agency’s RM6277 framework. The tender submission deadline was 22 July 2026 at 5pm, and the award was made on 24 July 2026. Michael Page was selected as supplier for £128,747.82 including the stated currency of GBP. The awarded contract runs from 27 July 2026 to 15 January 2027. The requirement was for one interim Director of People Services. The recorded procurement value and awarded value are the same. The available process information identifies the framework call-off route rather than a separate open competition.

For a supplier assessing future requirements from the Information Commissioner’s Office, this award demonstrates demand for senior interim leadership in people services, sourced through a selective framework call-off. A credible competitor would need access to the relevant framework route and the ability to identify and supply an individual capable of directing a public-sector people function on an interim basis. Relevant strengths would include executive-level people-services recruitment, robust candidate assessment, rapid mobilisation and the capacity to support a single senior appointment rather than a broad contingent workforce programme. SME and VCSE suitability shows that the buyer’s stated participation profile can accommodate smaller or mission-led organisations, while the selected supplier’s recruitment-services role indicates the importance of specialist interim search capability.
