UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Council of the Borough of Kirklees procured temporary staffing services to provide an Assistant Finance Officer during a temporary vacancy. The requirement covers the supply of personnel for a single temporary finance post, with the work undertaken for the council in Kirklees, based in Huddersfield. This is a services requirement rather than the purchase of goods or construction works. The selected supplier is Vivid Resourcing, a Manchester-based small and medium-sized enterprise specialising in resourcing. Businesses relevant to this type of requirement include temporary staffing agencies, recruitment firms and personnel suppliers able to identify and place finance professionals for local authority work. The role is focused and specific: supplying an appropriately capable temporary Assistant Finance Officer rather than delivering a broader finance transformation or accountancy service.

The procurement has been completed and the contract awarded through a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition. The requirement was organised as one completed lot. Vivid Resourcing was awarded the contract, with an award status of active. The contract was signed on 3 June 2026 and runs from 11 June 2026 to 31 March 2027, covering up to nine months of temporary cover. Its value is £65,000 excluding VAT and £78,000 including VAT. The procurement was evaluated through the direct-award route rather than a competitive tender. The contract remains active for the stated period and relates to the council’s Assistant Finance Officer requirement. The recorded procurement reference is KMCCW-136.

This procurement demonstrates a defined need within Kirklees for temporary finance staff to maintain council operations during a vacancy. Suppliers best placed for similar requirements would have an established recruitment or temporary staffing operation, access to finance professionals and the ability to make a suitable placement quickly. Credibility would also depend on understanding local-authority finance environments, screening candidates appropriately and managing the administrative obligations associated with supplying temporary personnel. Firms should be able to support a single specialist placement rather than relying only on large volume staffing campaigns. A Manchester-based SME was selected, indicating that the requirement can be served by a smaller specialist resourcing business with relevant public-sector or finance recruitment capability. Experience supplying comparable interim finance roles would strengthen a future competitor’s position.
