Summary of the contracting process

Habinteg Housing Association Limited procured recruitment services to provide interim finance staff resource. The requirement is for specialist recruitment support focused on finance personnel rather than permanent staffing, consultancy or general business services. The work covers delivery across England, including the North East, North West, Yorkshire and the Humber, East Midlands, West Midlands, East of England, London, South East and South West. The buying organisation is a housing association based in Bradford. This opportunity is relevant to recruitment agencies and specialist staffing businesses able to source, vet and place interim finance professionals across multiple English regions, particularly those with experience supporting housing associations or other public and not-for-profit organisations.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Robertson Bell Ltd, an SME, for the single lot. Habinteg used a direct award below the applicable threshold without competition, so there was no competitive tender or published evaluation basis. The contract was signed on 30 July 2026 and runs from 1 August 2026 to 31 October 2026. Its gross value is £55,000. The award is active and the contract is active. The requirement therefore represents a completed purchasing decision for a short-term interim finance recruitment assignment, with the selected supplier providing the recruitment service across the English regions covered by the contract.

This procurement provides a clear example of Habinteg’s demand for externally sourced interim finance staff and the scale of assignment it places through a specialist recruitment supplier. A competitor seeking similar work would need a strong finance recruitment capability, access to candidates available for interim appointments, and the capacity to support placements across England. Credibility would also come from understanding the requirements of a housing association and being able to handle public-sector style procurement and contract administration. Robertson Bell Ltd’s selection shows that an SME recruitment business can be suitable for this type of requirement. Firms with demonstrable delivery in interim finance recruitment, responsive candidate sourcing and broad geographic reach would be well placed when assessing comparable opportunities from this buyer.
