UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Yorkshire Ambulance Service NHS Trust procured a recruitment finder’s fee connected with appointing Aron Firth to its fleet operation. The underlying operational requirement relates to car maintenance and car repair services, classified under CPV codes 50112200 and 50112100. The buyer is Yorkshire Ambulance Service NHS Trust, based in Wakefield. The procurement concerns services rather than the purchase of vehicles, parts or workshop equipment. It is relevant to recruitment agencies and specialist staffing businesses that source personnel for fleet, vehicle maintenance or automotive repair functions, particularly where a placement fee is charged for introducing a suitable candidate. Automotive service providers without recruitment capability are less directly aligned with the recorded requirement.

The procurement is complete and was awarded through a direct award below the threshold, without competition. One lot was completed and one award is active. Questech Recruitment Limited was selected as the supplier. The contract was signed on 1 April 2026 and runs from 1 April 2026 to 31 March 2027. Its value is £4,535.52 excluding VAT, or £5,442.62 including VAT. The recorded evaluation route was the buyer’s direct, non-competitive procedure rather than a scored tender. The arrangement is therefore a completed recruitment-services purchase for a specific fleet-related appointment, not an open competition for general vehicle maintenance, repair work or a multi-supplier framework.

For a supplier that did not win this award, the procurement demonstrates a buyer using specialist recruitment support to fill a fleet-related requirement involving vehicle maintenance and repair capability. A credible competitor would need an established recruitment operation, access to candidates with automotive servicing or repair experience, and the ability to identify and introduce an appropriate individual for an NHS ambulance-service fleet environment. Evidence of successful placements in fleet engineering, vehicle maintenance, garage operations or related technical roles would help establish relevance. Suppliers should also be able to explain their finder’s-fee model, candidate screening process, understanding of operational requirements and ability to work with a public-sector ambulance organisation.
