Summary of the contracting process

Tees Valley Combined Authority procured an interim finance resource through an agency staff arrangement for its finance department. The requirement is to provide finance support, with the awarded service classified as accounting services (CPV 79211000). Delivery is in the United Kingdom, for the Combined Authority’s finance function. The selected supplier is Vivid Resourcing, a division of G2V Recruitment Group Limited, based in London. This is a professional services requirement suited to recruitment and resourcing businesses able to supply suitably experienced interim finance personnel and support the buyer’s operational finance needs. The procurement concerns an extension to an existing interim finance resource arrangement rather than a new, broad finance transformation or outsourced accounting service.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Vivid Resourcing, a division of G2V Recruitment Group Limited. The award was made on 16 July 2026, and the contract was signed on the same date. The contract period runs from 16 July 2026 to 31 December 2026, with a maximum possible extension to 30 June 2027. Its value is £195,177 excluding VAT and £234,212.40 including VAT. The contract includes one six-month extension. The tender description identifies the route as an above-threshold direct award, while the recorded procurement-method detail says “Below threshold - unknown”. There was one completed lot, and the tender was evaluated through the direct-award route rather than an open competition.

For a supplier that did not win this procurement, the award demonstrates demand from Tees Valley Combined Authority for agency-supplied interim finance capability. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need to recruit, vet and deploy finance professionals able to provide practical support within a public-sector finance department, while managing the administrative and delivery responsibilities of an agency arrangement. Experience supplying interim accounting or finance staff would be directly relevant, particularly where personnel must integrate quickly into the buyer’s team and maintain continuity over an initial engagement with a possible extension. The selected provider is recorded as an SME, showing that this type of requirement can be delivered by a smaller specialist resourcing business rather than only by a large professional services firm.
