## Summary

The Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC) procured an extension for contingent labour to support its PPE Contract Dissolution Programme for 2026/27. This is temporary personnel supply work, rather than the provision of PPE itself. The requirement is described as one extension; the published scope does not set out individual roles or duties. Delivery is in London, at DHSC’s Victoria Street location. The procurement falls within personnel supply services (CPV 79620000).

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Allen Lane Limited. The award was made on 6 October 2026, with a contract period running from 1 October 2026 to 31 March 2027. The awarded value is £125,013.05. DHSC used a selective process through a call-off from a framework agreement. The stated requirement was one contingent labour extension. The listed submission deadline was 30 September 2026. The procurement was marked unsuitable for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises. No evaluation criteria are recorded in the process information.

For suppliers of temporary personnel, this award demonstrates DHSC demand for contingent labour supporting the dissolution of PPE contracts. A future competitor would need to show it can provide an extension to an existing programme with enough suitably capable staff to sustain the required work over a defined, relatively short delivery period. The route used was a framework call-off, so relevant framework access and the ability to compete within that arrangement would matter. Allen Lane Limited, an SME, was selected for this requirement, providing a concrete example of the supplier profile that delivered it. The stated SME unsuitability means businesses should check the terms and eligibility of any future procurement carefully rather than assume this requirement is open to SME participation.
