UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Plymouth Community Homes Limited procured recruitment services for an interim Head of Service. The requirement covers identifying and providing recruitment support for an interim senior service leader. The work is associated with Plymouth, within the United Kingdom. The procurement is categorised as services, with the classification describing recruitment services. Plymouth Community Homes Limited is the public-sector buyer. The requirement relates to a single completed lot and was delivered for the organisation’s needs rather than as a general recruitment framework. Businesses that provide interim executive recruitment, senior temporary management appointments or specialist public-sector recruitment would find the subject matter relevant. The selected supplier was Tile Hill Interim & Executive Limited, based in Letchworth Garden City.

The procurement is complete and was awarded through a direct procedure below the applicable threshold, without competition. Tile Hill Interim & Executive Limited received the award for the single lot. The contract was signed on 20 July 2026 and runs from 20 July 2026 to 19 January 2027. Its value is £129,600 excluding VAT, or £155,520 including VAT. The contract is active. The requirement was evaluated and concluded through a non-competitive below-threshold route rather than an open tender. The award relates solely to recruitment services for an interim Head of Service. No separate lot values or multiple awards are reported for this procurement.

This award demonstrates demand from Plymouth Community Homes Limited for specialist recruitment of an interim Head of Service. A credible future competitor would need to source and assess senior interim leaders, understand executive and service-management appointments, and provide a dependable process for placing people into public-sector housing or community-services organisations. The selected supplier is recorded as a small or medium-sized enterprise and as a voluntary, community or social enterprise, showing that the requirement was delivered by a specialist smaller provider with an appropriate mission profile. Firms with comparable interim executive recruitment capability, access to experienced senior candidates and the capacity to manage a complete appointment process would be the closest commercial comparators when this buyer next reviews the requirement.
