UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The public procurement process for "RBC Housing Agency Staff" was initiated by Redditch Borough Council, a sub-central government authority in the UK. After being awarded on 12th August 2025, the contract was recently terminated on 30th September 2025. The procurement followed a direct method, classified as below-threshold and without competition, focusing on recruitment services. Park Avenue Recruitment, a London-based SME, was engaged as the supplier. The contract, originally valued at £168,000 with a gross amount of £210,000, was set to run until 11th August 2026 but was terminated early as per contractual terms.

This contract could serve as a potential avenue for businesses specialising in recruitment services to grow within governmental procurement frameworks. While the opportunity initially called for a below-threshold, non-competitive process, businesses that offer competitive advantages in agency staffing could benefit from similar future tenders. SMEs, in particular, may find opportunities in public-sector contracts like this, which allow for direct procurement methods favouring efficiency and a local supplier base. Engaging with sub-central government bodies such as Redditch Borough Council offers a gateway into the public sector's procurement landscape.
