Summary of the contracting process

The public procurement process led by the Oldham Metropolitan Borough Council pertains to the appointment of an interim ASC (Adult Social Care) Transformation & Financial Turnaround Director. The procurement falls within the services category, specifically targeting recruitment services, and is situated in Oldham, United Kingdom. This contract, valued at £170,000, spans from 9th July 2025 to 31st March 2026. It follows a direct procurement method under the legal framework of the UK Public Procurement Act 2023/54 and has reached the award stage, pending signature. Notably, this procurement was executed below the threshold without competition, highlighting a swift decision-making approach in securing the necessary expertise.

This procurement offers substantial opportunities for businesses with strong capabilities in providing interim management services, particularly those with expertise in public sector transformation and financial turnaround strategies. While the procurement method was direct, and the contract awarded to PENNA PLC, large-scale suppliers or consultancies specialising in interim recruitment services could find this area ripe for growth, particularly in understanding the nuances of local government operations. Businesses in these sectors should consider leveraging such contracts to build relationships with public authorities, as the demand for strategic management solutions in the public sector continues to grow.
