Summary of the contracting process

Sheffield City Council has successfully concluded a public procurement process for recruitment services to appoint three Executive Search Assistant Directors in the housing sector. Classified under the services industry, this limited competition procurement aimed to identify capable suppliers below the designated threshold for such contracts. The contract was awarded to GREENACRE RECRUITMENT LTD, a small to medium-sized enterprise (SME) based in Hertfordshire. The procurement process reached the final award stage, officially completing on 25th July 2025, and is set to span until 24th January 2026.

This tender presents a strategic opportunity for recruitment firms and consultancies specialising in high-level executive searches to engage with sub-central government bodies like Sheffield City Council. SMEs with a strong portfolio in sourcing senior housing executives can find this type of contract particularly appealing, allowing them to broaden their service offerings and establish deeper collaborations within the public sector. The limited competition framework used in this procurement suggests that businesses adept at navigating such procurement settings will be well-positioned for future opportunities.
