Summary of the contracting process

Chesterfield Borough Council procured specialist recruitment services to run a campaign for senior posts within the council. The requirement covers the complete recruitment campaign activity associated with filling senior-level council positions, rather than the supply of permanent staff alone. It is a professional service classified as recruitment services. Delivery addresses span England, covering the North East, North West, Yorkshire and the Humber, East Midlands, West Midlands, East of England, London, South East and South West. The buyer is Chesterfield Borough Council, a sub-central public authority. The requirement is therefore relevant to executive search firms, senior recruitment consultancies and recruitment specialists with the capability to manage public-sector campaigns across multiple English regions.

The procurement has been completed and the contract was awarded on 24 July 2026 to Tile Hill Interim & Executive Limited. The award is active and covers the single completed lot. The awarded value is £45,000 excluding VAT (£54,000 including VAT). The contract runs from 30 July 2026 to 30 October 2026. Chesterfield Borough Council used a below-threshold limited competition, with three bids received and two reaching the final stage. One final-stage bidder was an SME. The award was made for recruitment services for senior council posts. This outcome identifies a short, defined campaign delivered through a competitive process restricted to selected suppliers, rather than an open procedure.

This award demonstrates demand from Chesterfield Borough Council for specialist support in recruiting senior posts, with the requirement delivered as a focused campaign rather than general recruitment supply. A credible future competitor would need demonstrable executive or senior-level recruitment expertise, the ability to design and run a complete campaign, and sufficient capacity to manage a public-sector assignment over a concentrated period. Familiarity with council leadership roles, public-sector recruitment expectations and transparent candidate handling would be commercially relevant. The successful supplier, Tile Hill Interim & Executive Limited, is an SME and a voluntary, community or social enterprise, showing that the requirement can be delivered by a specialist smaller organisation rather than only a large national recruitment group. The limited-competition route also makes established buyer relationships and readiness for targeted invitations important.
