## Summary

The Office for Standards in Education, Children’s Services and Skills (Ofsted) procured temporary finance systems development services. The requirement is for a finance systems developer supplied as temporary personnel, supporting the buyer’s finance systems and related work. It is a services contract delivered in the North West of England, with Ofsted based at Piccadilly Gate in Manchester. The procurement is relevant to recruitment businesses, specialist interim providers and consultancies able to supply experienced finance systems development professionals for public sector assignments. It may also suit businesses with established access to finance technology specialists and the ability to manage temporary placements for a government organisation.

The procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. Ofsted used a selective procedure as a call-off from a framework agreement. The contract was awarded to Robertson Bell Ltd on 31 July 2026 for £64,529.74 including VAT status as published. The initial contract period runs from 3 August 2026 to 31 March 2027. The stated maximum period, including extension, runs to 30 September 2027, with a maximum value of £114,147.14. The tender submission deadline was 24 July 2026 at 5pm. The award was made to one supplier, and the contract’s initial value and period match the awarded terms.

This award demonstrates demand from Ofsted for interim finance systems development capability through an established framework route. A supplier seeking comparable work would need to provide a finance systems developer who can work effectively in a public sector environment, understand financial processes and systems, and contribute quickly within a temporary assignment. Credible providers are likely to have a dependable network of suitably qualified specialists, robust screening and onboarding arrangements, and the capacity to support delivery in the North West. Small and medium-sized enterprises were considered suitable for the requirement, so an SME with relevant finance technology recruitment or consultancy experience could compete for similar future requirements through an appropriate framework.
