Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Nottinghamshire County Council procured an interim payroll adviser for Ashfield District Council. The requirement is a professional business service covering temporary payroll advisory support, intended to provide specialist payroll capability during an interim period. The work is delivered in the East Midlands, United Kingdom. The procurement is categorised as services and falls within the broad business-services classification covering consulting, recruitment and related professional support. Service Care Solutions was selected to provide the adviser. This is relevant to payroll consultancies, specialist interim recruitment agencies and professional services firms able to supply experienced payroll advisers for council environments. Suppliers with public-sector payroll knowledge and the ability to place suitable interim personnel in the East Midlands would be well aligned with the requirement.

The procurement has been completed and the contract was awarded to Service Care Solutions on 10 August 2026. The award value is £17,813.28 including the stated currency of GBP. The overall estimated procurement value was between £17,813.28 and £30,000. The contract period runs from 12 August 2026 to 31 December 2026. The tender closed for submissions at 17:00 on 17 July 2026. The procurement method was recorded as “Other”. The contract was awarded through a completed tender process, with the selected supplier identified as Service Care Solutions. The published requirement described the arrangement as an interim payroll adviser contract for Ashfield District Council, with Nottinghamshire County Council as the buying organisation.

For suppliers that did not win this procurement, the award demonstrates a council requirement for short-term payroll advisory capacity and provides a clear indication of the type of provider selected: an SME specialist able to supply an interim professional through a managed service or recruitment-led model. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need access to experienced payroll advisers, strong knowledge of local-government payroll processes and the ability to provide a suitably qualified person at short notice. Relevant suppliers would include specialist payroll consultancies, interim management providers and recruitment businesses with public-sector networks. SME and voluntary, community or social enterprise participation was identified as suitable, so smaller organisations with demonstrable payroll capability may be able to compete when this buyer next sources comparable support.
