Summary of the contracting process

Portsmouth City Council procured temporary professional support for its commercial property team. The requirement is a services contract for supplying personnel, including temporary staff, to support the council’s commercial property function. The work is associated with Portsmouth City Council and its operations in Portsmouth. The procurement covered one requirement rather than a group of separately described services. It is relevant to businesses providing temporary professional staff, commercial property personnel or specialist support services to local authorities. Firms whose main offer is the supply and management of appropriately experienced personnel for commercial property teams are the closest match. The named requirement is “Hus Djevdet”, although the substantive scope is temporary professional support for the commercial property team.

The procurement has been completed and the contract was awarded through a below-threshold route described as “unknown”. It covered one lot. The contract was awarded to THE OYSTER PARTNERSHIP LIMITED, an SME. The award is active and the contract is active. The award date and contract signing date were 21 July 2026. The contract period runs from 21 July 2026 to 1 February 2027. The awarded contract value is £120,000 gross. The procurement was evaluated within the below-threshold process used by the council; the published outcome does not set out an award-criteria weighting or a separate technical and price assessment. This is an awarded outcome, rather than an opportunity to submit a bid.

This procurement is useful market evidence for suppliers of temporary professional personnel and commercial property support. A competitor seeking similar work with Portsmouth City Council would need to show that it can provide suitable staff to support a public-sector commercial property team, manage temporary professional placements and maintain service continuity throughout the requirement. Credibility would come from relevant commercial property capability, dependable recruitment or personnel-supply processes, and experience supporting a local authority or comparable property organisation. The successful supplier is an SME, indicating that the requirement was deliverable by a smaller specialist business rather than only by a large national provider. Businesses with a focused commercial property staffing offer may therefore find this buyer and requirement type commercially relevant when monitoring future demand.
