## Summary

Aster Group Limited commissioned interim recruitment services to appoint a Data Transformation Programme Director. The post is intended to lead delivery of Aster’s data transformation programme, so the requirement combines senior-level recruitment with understanding of data transformation leadership. Aster is a housing group based in Devizes, and the work is for its programme; the procurement gives the delivery location as the United Kingdom. The service falls within temporary and interim personnel supply. The stated scope also refers to strategic advisory and “critical friend” support through the Cirrus Consortium agency labour and recruitment framework, indicating a framework call-off rather than a standalone open competition. The role is programme leadership, not general staffing provision.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded to Recruit with Purpose Ltd. Aster Group used a limited procedure, making a direct call-off from the Cirrus Consortium Agency Labour & Recruitment Framework 4 without a separate competition. The recorded evaluation basis was price, and one bid was received. The contract was signed on 1 September 2026 and is active, with a value of £216,666.67. The award is recorded as active. Although the tender information labels its single lot cancelled, the award and signed contract are active; the published outcome identifies Recruit with Purpose Ltd as the selected supplier. The contract period is not stated in the available process information.

For recruitment firms, this award shows demand from Aster for interim appointment of a senior programme director to lead a data transformation programme, with strategic advisory and critical-friend support also referenced in the framework call-off. A credible competitor would need to source and assess senior interim leaders with relevant data transformation programme experience, and demonstrate that they can provide the advisory element alongside recruitment. The buyer used an established agency labour and recruitment framework and evaluated the award on price, so framework access and commercially competitive delivery are relevant strengths for comparable requirements. This is a substantial, focused appointment rather than evidence of a broad staffing requirement; firms whose capability is limited to routine temporary workforce supply may be less well matched.
