Summary of the contracting process

The Tees Valley Combined Authority, located at Teesside Airport Business Suite in Darlington, undertook a procurement process titled "TVCA-PROC-0725 - Governance Support - Natalie Brown" under the public authority - sub-central government category. This tender was initiated to support the Governance Team through the supply of temporary staff services. Covering the industry category of supply services of personnel, the procurement was conducted via a direct method, below the threshold without competition. The contract began on 18th November 2025, with a signing date of 24th November 2025, and spanned until 17th February 2026 with a possible extension of three months if needed. Although the contract was awarded and completed, it faced a termination due to being advertised on an incorrect platform, with termination announced in May 2026.

The opportunity provided an ideal growth avenue for large-scale suppliers specialising in staffing solutions. The awarded contract valued at £50,978.31 gross, translating into £42,481.92 net, was secured by Sellick Partnership Limited, a Manchester-based business, highlighting the suitability of experienced firms that can efficiently support public sector governance teams. Businesses operating within the supply of personnel services, particularly those able to provide temporary staffing solutions, would have been well-positioned to engage in such tenders. The expeditious procurement process without competition suggested a favourable environment for firms already equipped with the necessary capabilities to deliver on public authority requirements.
