## Summary

This public procurement contracting process, issued by UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) located at 10 S Colonnade, London, was focused on the provision of contingent labour to assist with compliance regarding Freedom of Information and Subject Access Requests. Categorised under "Supply services of personnel including temporary staff" (CPV code 79620000), it involved securing two or three Higher Executive Officer (HEO) level FOI officers. The procurement utilised a selective method, specifically a call-off from a framework agreement. The contract was awarded to VENN GROUP LIMITED on 3rd June 2025, with a contract period commencing on 1st December 2024 and concluding on 18th July 2025.

This tender provides substantial business opportunities for firms specialising in human resources, particularly those equipped with skilled personnel for temporary and contingent roles. While particularly advantageous for larger organisations capable of fulfilling selective framework agreements, SMEs with robust HR capacities might also benefit from positioning themselves as potential subcontractors or partners in similar future procurements. As the project aligns with compliance and regulatory sectors, companies with expertise in public sector requirements or related administrative roles would be well-suited to engage with such opportunities, expanding their portfolio and enhancing their market presence within the public sector.

## Notice

The request is to use contingent labour in the form of 2 or 3 HEO FOI officers to deliver casework while we complete recruitment to the 2 vacant posts we have budgeted for in the operating model.
