## Summary

The Police Digital Service procured an interim Migration Architect resource. This is a professional IT services assignment focused on migration architecture, within the wider field of IT consulting, software development, internet and support services (CPV 72000000). The work is to be delivered in the United Kingdom. The buyer is the Police Digital Service, based in London. The requirement is for a specialist individual or team able to provide architectural expertise during a migration programme, rather than for a software product, construction project or general goods supply. It is categorised as a services procurement and was suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The selected supplier, Permanent Futures Ltd., is based in Leeds and is classified as an SME.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded. It used a selective procedure as a call-off from a framework agreement. The submission deadline was 14 August 2026 at 5:00pm. The contract was awarded on 14 August 2026 to Permanent Futures Ltd. for £177,214 GBP. The contract period runs from 15 August 2026 to 31 March 2027. The award is active. The requirement was evaluated through the framework call-off process. This is a single services requirement for an interim Migration Architect resource, with the work covering the United Kingdom. The award value and contract period are the same as the procurement’s stated value and planned contract period.

For suppliers assessing future Police Digital Service requirements, this award demonstrates demand for interim migration architecture capability within public-sector digital and IT programmes. A credible competitor would need experienced migration architects who can advise on and shape the movement of systems, applications or data, together with the ability to provide specialist consultancy rather than only implementation labour. The requirement also indicates that the buyer uses framework call-offs, so relevant framework appointment and call-off capability would be commercially important. The opportunity was suitable for an SME, showing that a specialist smaller business can meet this type of requirement. Suppliers should be able to provide an individual or compact specialist team, work across a UK delivery environment, and demonstrate practical IT consulting and migration experience relevant to policing or other complex public services.
