UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Hartlepool Borough Council engaged an agency mechanical engineer to maintain service delivery, improve oversight of projects and retain fee income. The requirement is a professional engineering staffing service rather than the supply of equipment or construction works. The appointed resource supports the council’s mechanical engineering function and associated project activity. The service is for Hartlepool Borough Council and relates to delivery in the Hartlepool area. The procurement is classified as recruitment services. Businesses relevant to this requirement include specialist recruitment agencies able to source and place mechanical engineering professionals, and engineering staffing providers with access to suitable candidates for public-sector assignments. The requirement may suit suppliers that can support an operational council environment while meeting the practical demands of mechanical engineering and project oversight.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded to G2V Recruitment Group Limited. The council used a direct procedure below the applicable threshold and without competition. The contract was signed on 19 August 2026 and runs from 31 August 2026 to 31 January 2027. Its value is £48,840 excluding VAT, or £56,608 including VAT. There is one completed lot covering the mechanical engineer post, and one active award to G2V Recruitment Group Limited for the recruitment service. The stated purpose was to maintain service delivery, improve project oversight and retain fee income. The award information does not set out a scored evaluation basis; the recorded route was a below-threshold direct appointment without competition.

This award indicates a defined need for agency-supplied mechanical engineering capability within Hartlepool Borough Council, linked to maintaining service delivery and strengthening oversight of projects. A credible competing supplier would need reliable access to mechanical engineers who can work in a council setting, contribute to operational service continuity and provide effective technical input to project management. Recruitment businesses with an established engineering candidate network, strong vetting and placement processes, and the ability to respond to public-sector requirements would be well placed. Engineering consultancies able to provide appropriately experienced personnel through an agency model may also be relevant. The purchasing route shows that this buyer has used a straightforward below-threshold appointment for a focused staffing requirement.
