UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Tees Valley Combined Authority awarded a temporary staffing service to support its Finance Department while it recruits a permanent member of staff. The requirement is for one finance professional supplied through a recruitment agency, rather than for finance consultancy, software or general administrative services. The work supports the Combined Authority’s operations in the Tees Valley, with the buying organisation based in Darlington. The service falls within personnel supply, including temporary staff. This opportunity is therefore relevant to recruitment agencies and temporary staffing providers able to source finance professionals for public-sector assignments, particularly those serving the Tees Valley and wider North East. It may also interest suppliers that provide interim finance resource alongside recruitment support.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded directly, below the applicable threshold and without competition. Tees Valley Combined Authority awarded the requirement to G2V Recruitment – Vivid Resourcing. The award date was 20 July 2026, and the contract was signed on the same date. The contract period runs from 21 July 2026 to 11 January 2027. Its value is £85,000 excluding VAT and £102,000 including VAT. The award covers one completed lot. The procurement was evaluated through a direct below-threshold route rather than an open tender, and the published outcome records the contract as active. The supplied staff member had already started employment on 14 July 2026, making this a retrospective award.

This award demonstrates demand from Tees Valley Combined Authority for interim finance staffing during a permanent recruitment exercise. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need to recruit and place suitably experienced finance professionals quickly, manage temporary employment or engagement arrangements, and support a public authority with reliable workforce administration. Relevant strengths would include an established network of finance candidates, experience supplying temporary staff to public-sector organisations, and the capacity to provide a named individual for a defined assignment. Suppliers should also be able to respond to below-threshold direct or limited-market requirements and demonstrate that their processes can support a smooth transition when permanent recruitment is under way. The requirement is focused on practical interim resourcing, not broad consultancy delivery.
