Summary of the contracting process

The Office of the Police and Crime Commissioner for Cleveland has completed the procurement process for the provision of an Interim Head of Communications, with an award made on 8th September 2025. The procurement falls within the recruitment services industry category, specifically targeting regions in the United Kingdom such as Stockton on Tees. The procurement was conducted through a direct method, designated as below-threshold without competition, and the contract is now active, running from 9th September to 8th December 2025, valued at £122,400. This procurement activity highlights a strategic need within a sub-central government public authority.

This contract opens pathways for recruitment agencies and intermediaries specialising in high-level executive placements, particularly those capable of fulfilling roles in governmental settings.
