## Summary

The Police Digital Service procured an interim Chief People Officer resource as a professional service. The requirement is for senior people and human resources leadership capacity, supporting the organisation’s workforce, people strategy and related executive responsibilities during an interim period. The work is delivered in the United Kingdom for the Police Digital Service, based in London. The procurement is classified under CPV 72000000, a broad code covering IT consulting, software development, internet and support services, although the stated requirement is specifically an interim Chief People Officer. The buyer is a public sector digital service serving policing, so suppliers should be able to work in a public service environment and provide an experienced interim people leader rather than a general technology consultancy.

The procurement has been awarded and is complete. Police Digital Service selected Permanent Futures Ltd., an SME, on 28 August 2026. The award value is £321,300 including the stated currency of GBP. The contract runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 August 2027. It was conducted as a selective call-off from a framework agreement, rather than as an open standalone tender. The tender submission deadline was 28 August 2026 at 12:00 BST. The award is active and covers one interim Chief People Officer resource. This outcome records a single supplier and a single awarded value; there are no separate lots or multiple awards to distinguish.

This award demonstrates demand from the Police Digital Service for senior interim people leadership supplied through a framework call-off. It is most relevant to specialist interim management providers, executive resourcing firms and consultancies with a credible Chief People Officer or senior HR leadership capability. Future competition for the same requirement would favour suppliers able to provide an individual who can operate at executive level, lead people-related activity and adapt quickly to a public sector digital organisation. The selected supplier was an SME, indicating that a smaller specialist provider can satisfy this type of requirement. Firms should also consider whether they hold, or can access, a suitable framework route for comparable public sector call-offs.
