Summary of the contracting process

This procurement process, managed by Southampton City Council, sought an Interim Chief Finance Officer, classified under the services industry category. The procurement was conducted with limited competition below the threshold, reflecting the specific and targeted nature of the contract. The award was completed and went to TILE HILL INTERIM & EXECUTIVE LIMITED, marked active with the contract running from 27th April 2026 to 16th October 2026. The procurement aims to fulfil service needs in Southampton, with the personnel supply being a key focus. This region-based procurement process had legal underpinnings found under UKPGA 2023/54, indicating a strong legal framework.

This tender represents substantial opportunities for service-oriented businesses, specifically those that provide skilled interim personnel, such as interim finance officers. Companies like TILE HILL, operating within the professional services sector, are well-suited to take advantage of such procurement opportunities.

The specific focus on the public services administration tasks in local government highlights the niche yet crucial opportunities present in this segment.
