Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the title "Interim Payroll Manager" was managed by Sheffield City Council, a public authority classified under sub-central government in the UK. This tender, which falls under the industry category of recruitment services, was located in Sheffield, United Kingdom. The procurement has progressed to the award stage and was completed with an award date of the 10th of April, 2026. The method used for procurement was a limited competition approach, which is typical for contracts falling below a certain financial threshold. The contract start date was recorded as the 16th of March, 2026, and it is set to conclude on the 15th of December, 2026, with a total contract value of £39,000.

This tender provides notable opportunities for businesses within the recruitment and payroll services sectors, particularly those accustomed to managing payroll processes. Since the procurement method was limited competition, this could present an attractive chance for small to medium enterprises (SMEs) that specialise in tailored recruitment services. Such businesses could capitalise on this opportunity to expand their client base by establishing a partnership with a sub-central public authority in the UK. The selected supplier, Portfolio Payroll, an SME from London, exemplifies the alignment between specialised service providers and public sector needs in this type of contract.
