Summary of the contracting process

North Somerset Council procured recruitment campaign services and media advertising. The requirement is categorised as recruitment services and concerns communications activity connected with the council’s recruitment needs. The buying organisation is North Somerset Council, a sub-central public authority based in Weston-super-Mare, North Somerset. The awarded services are to be delivered in the United Kingdom. The procurement was arranged as a single requirement rather than a group of separately described service areas. It is relevant to businesses that provide recruitment-focused campaigns, advertising services for employers, or both. Suppliers whose work combines recruitment expertise with the planning, creation or delivery of advertising campaigns may find the requirement closely aligned with their offer, particularly where they support public-sector organisations with recruitment communications.

The procurement has been completed and awarded following a below-threshold limited competition. TILE HILL INTERIM & EXECUTIVE LIMITED was selected for the single lot. The award is active and the contract was signed on 25 August 2026, with an award date not separately stated. The contract runs from 1 September 2026 to 30 October 2026. Its value is £30,000 excluding VAT and £36,000 including VAT. The procurement was evaluated through the limited competition route; no separate award criteria are published in the available process details. The selected supplier is a UK small and medium-sized enterprise and a voluntary, community or social enterprise. The contract covers the recruitment campaign and media advertising requirement for North Somerset Council.

This award demonstrates that North Somerset Council has purchased a defined combination of recruitment campaign services and media advertising from a small and medium-sized enterprise that is also a voluntary, community or social enterprise. A competitor seeking to be credible when this type of requirement next reaches the market would need a clear capability in recruitment-focused communications and the delivery of media advertising for an employer or public authority. Relevant experience should show that the business can manage a focused campaign, understand recruitment services and deliver advertising activity against a client’s requirements. Organisations with both recruitment-sector knowledge and campaign delivery capability are better aligned than suppliers offering general advertising or unrelated recruitment services alone. The procurement also indicates that a below-threshold limited competition route was used.
