Summary of the contracting process

North Somerset Council engaged a specialist recruitment services provider to support the Director of Adult Social Services and Housing in appointing a new Assistant Director. The requirement covers identifying and appointing a senior leader whose work will focus on transformation and commissioning across the directorate. This is a public-sector executive recruitment assignment, rather than the delivery of adult social care or housing services themselves. The work is delivered for North Somerset Council in North Somerset. It will interest recruitment agencies, executive search firms and interim management providers with experience of senior local-government appointments, particularly across adult social care, housing, transformation and commissioning. The procurement’s classification is recruitment services (CPV 79600000).

The procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. North Somerset Council used a below-threshold limited competition, with one completed lot. The contract was signed on 29 June 2026 and runs from 1 July 2026 to 11 September 2026. Tile Hill Interim & Executive Limited was selected as the supplier. The contract value is £32,000 excluding VAT and £38,400 including VAT. The award and contract are recorded as active. The published process identifies the procurement route but does not set out separate quality, price or other evaluation weightings. This was a single-supplier appointment for the recruitment assignment, rather than a multi-lot framework or wider service arrangement.

This award provides a clear example of North Somerset Council’s demand for specialist support with senior leadership recruitment in adult social services and housing. A credible competitor for similar work would need to demonstrate executive search or interim recruitment capability, access to candidates for senior local-government roles, and an understanding of transformation and commissioning responsibilities. Knowledge of the operating environment across adult social care and housing would help suppliers assess candidates against the council’s needs. The selected provider is recorded as a small and medium-sized enterprise and a voluntary, community or social enterprise, showing that the requirement can be delivered by a focused specialist rather than only a large corporate recruiter.
