The procurement process titled "Provision of Interim Agency Staff" was overseen by Arun District Council in Littlehampton, United Kingdom, a sub-central government authority. This process aimed to secure interim agency staff for the role of Interim Assistant Director of Governance, People & Performance and Monitoring Officer, crucial for supporting governance, people management, and statutory functions. Classified under the services category, the contract award was completed using a direct procurement method below the threshold without competition. The contract, active from 23 March 2026 to 25 September 2026, carries an estimated gross value of £194,000. The tender was awarded to Venn Group Limited, marked by the signing date on 19 March 2026.
