## Summary

The London Borough of Newham commissioned an interim technical specialist to support the design, configuration, integration, testing and implementation of a Microsoft Dynamics 365 solution. The work covers solution design, system configuration, integration and data activities, workflow automation, reporting, testing, deployment, documentation, knowledge transfer and a limited period of post-implementation support. This is a specialist digital and business systems services requirement for the council, delivered in London. The appointment was made through the London Borough of Waltham Forest and Yorkshire Purchasing Organisation framework for permanent, interim and recruitment marketing solutions, under Lot 1 for interim recruitment. The associated service classification is recruitment services (CPV 79600000), reflecting the framework route used to appoint the specialist resource.

The procurement has been completed and the contract is active. It was a below-threshold, selective call-off under a framework, with no further competition. Venn Group Limited was awarded the contract for the single lot. The contract was signed on 26 August 2026 and runs from 26 August 2026 to 24 August 2027. Its value is £145,000 excluding VAT and £174,000 including VAT. The published outcome records the appointment of an interim specialist resource rather than a conventional open tender. The requirement was evaluated through the existing framework arrangement, and the council’s recorded procurement method was an award under framework. London Borough of Newham is the buying organisation.

This award shows that Newham uses an established public-sector recruitment framework to obtain interim specialists for substantial Microsoft Dynamics 365 delivery work. Suppliers seeking to compete for comparable requirements should be able to provide credible technical expertise across the full implementation lifecycle: solution architecture and design, Dynamics 365 configuration, systems integration, data migration or related data activities, workflow automation, reporting, testing and deployment. They should also be able to produce clear technical documentation, transfer knowledge to council staff and provide short-term support after implementation. The requirement favours suppliers with access to suitably experienced interim professionals, the capacity to sustain a council-scale assignment, and familiarity with framework call-off procedures and public-sector delivery expectations.
