Summary of the contracting process

The East Midlands Combined County Authority procured recruitment and provision of an Interim Director of Commercial and Investment. This is a personnel supply service for non-clinical temporary staff, covering an interim senior commercial and investment leadership role. The work is for the authority and is to be delivered in the East Midlands. The requirement was handled through the Government Commercial Agency’s RM6277 Non-Clinical Staffing framework, Lot 2. The relevant service category is supply services of personnel, including temporary staff (CPV 79620000). The procurement concerns one interim appointment rather than a wider staffing programme, and is aimed at providing the authority with temporary executive-level commercial and investment capability.

The procurement is complete and an award has been made following a limited procedure without prior publication of a call for competition, as a framework call-off. The contract was awarded to Tile Hill Interim & Executive Ltd on 26 May 2026 for £104,400 including the stated contract value. The contract is recorded as active. Evaluation was based on price, and one bid was recorded for the requirement. The procurement record also marks the related lot as cancelled, while the award and contract remain active. The buyer retained an option for up to 12 months. The contracting authority is the East Midlands Combined County Authority, and the applicable review body is the High Court of England and Wales.

This requirement demonstrates demand for interim executive recruitment and temporary leadership services within a combined county authority, particularly in commercial and investment functions. A credible future supplier would need access to senior interim professionals who can lead public-sector commercial and investment activity, together with the recruitment, vetting and mobilisation capability to place an individual quickly. Experience supplying non-clinical temporary staff through public-sector procurement routes would be relevant, as would familiarity with framework call-offs made without a separate open competition. Suppliers should be able to evidence reliable delivery of specialist interim appointments, understand public authority governance and accountability, and support a senior appointment for the duration of the authority’s operational need.
