Summary of the contracting process

Sheffield City Council has completed the procurement process for the provision of five Agency Inclusion Officers under the title "SEND X5 Inclusion officers 2026". This contract falls under the services category, specifically focusing on recruitment services, and targets public authority sub-central government operations. The contract was awarded on 8th January 2026 to Connect Exec LTD, based in Essex, with the contract term running from 9th January 2026 to 8th April 2026. The procurement was conducted via a direct method, recognised as below threshold and without competition, with the total contract value being approximately £14,070. The project location is primarily Sheffield, within the United Kingdom.

This tender offers significant opportunities for businesses specialising in recruitment services, particularly those adept at supplying agency inclusion officers. Small to medium enterprises such as Connect Exec LTD, which was awarded the contract, prove well-suited to fulfil such roles due to their scalability and robust service provisions. Public sector recruitment firms looking to expand their footprint in government contracts could explore similar tenders, especially given the specific municipal requirements common in sub-central government projects. Interested businesses should ensure they have the capabilities to support educational and social inclusion priorities, aligning services with the needs of local councils like Sheffield City Council.
