Summary of the contracting process

This procurement process involves Oxford City Council as the buying organisation, procuring temporary staffing services specifically for the position of a Senior Housing Regulatory Assurance Officer. The contract falls within the services industry category and pertains to recruitment services. Located in Oxford, the procurement is a completed stage with the contract having been signed on 14 May 2026, and with a period spanning from 30 June 2026 to 31 December 2026. The procurement was conducted under a "Below threshold - unknown" method, aligned with legal standards outlined in the UKPGA 2023/54. PENNA PLC has been awarded this contract, delivering under the active award status for a gross value of £55,020.

This tender represents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in temporary recruitment services, particularly those with experience or capability in public sector staffing. While PENNA PLC, a large-scale supplier based in London, secured the contract, similar opportunities may arise that are well suited to both large organisations and smaller enterprises equipped to provide specialised recruitment solutions. Engaging in such public sector contracts can enhance a company's portfolio, offering scope for increased visibility, growth, and diversification into government-linked projects. Businesses experienced in housing or regulatory staffing would find this type of tender particularly appealing.
