UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Midland Heart Limited procured IT recruitment services to support its workforce hiring requirements. The work falls within recruitment services and was delivered for Midland Heart, based in Birmingham. The requirement covered one lot and relates specifically to sourcing and recruiting information technology staff, rather than general recruitment across all occupations. This is a service opportunity for recruitment agencies, specialist technology recruiters and consultancies able to identify, assess and place suitable IT candidates for a housing organisation. The buyer is a sub-central public authority, so suppliers familiar with public-sector hiring environments and the governance involved in recruitment for a regulated organisation would be relevant to this type of requirement.

The procurement has been completed and the contract was awarded to Redrock Consulting Limited. It used a below-threshold procedure, with the precise method recorded as unknown, and the tender status and lot status are complete. The award is active and relates to the single recruitment-services lot. The contract was signed on 1 June 2026 and runs from 1 June 2026 to 1 July 2026. Its value is £40,000 excluding VAT, or £48,000 including VAT. Midland Heart awarded the contract to Redrock Consulting Limited for the IT recruitment service. The available outcome shows an award rather than an invitation to submit a new bid, and the procurement therefore provides a recent example of the buyer’s route for sourcing this requirement.

For a supplier assessing future work from Midland Heart, this procurement demonstrates demand for focused IT recruitment rather than a broad workforce-supply service. A credible competitor would need specialist knowledge of technology roles, an effective candidate-sourcing network and the ability to identify and assess people against technical requirements. Recruitment agencies should be able to manage the full process from understanding vacancies through candidate presentation and placement, while providing responsive service to the buyer’s hiring team. Experience supporting organisations with formal governance, documented processes and public or regulated-sector expectations would strengthen a supplier’s position. The awarded supplier was a large recruitment consultancy, indicating that capacity to handle the requirement reliably and at pace may matter alongside technical recruitment expertise.
