Summary of the contracting process

Midland Heart Limited bought temporary recruitment services for a Scheme Manager. The requirement falls within recruitment services and covers the provision of temporary staffing rather than a permanent appointment. Midland Heart is a housing organisation based in Birmingham and is the buying organisation for this procurement. The work is delivered in the United Kingdom. The procurement comprised a single requirement for temporary recruitment, with the service connected to the Scheme Manager role. The selected supplier, Think Recruitment (UK) Limited, is based in Sutton Coldfield and is recorded as a small or medium-sized enterprise. This opportunity is therefore relevant to recruitment agencies able to source and supply temporary personnel for housing or scheme-management roles in the UK.

The procurement has been completed and the contract was awarded to Think Recruitment (UK) Limited for the single lot. The award is active, and the contract is active. The contract was signed on 31 January 2026 and runs from 1 February 2026 to 1 February 2027, with a maximum extent to 1 February 2028. Its value is £38,438.40 excluding VAT and £46,126.08 including VAT. The arrangement is described as a rolling contract that renews annually, with renewal available. Midland Heart used a below-threshold limited competition, meaning a limited procurement procedure was used rather than an open competition. The tender status is complete. The available procurement information does not state separate evaluation weightings or award criteria.

For a recruitment supplier, this procurement demonstrates an established requirement for temporary recruitment connected to a Scheme Manager role at Midland Heart. It shows that the buyer has used a below-threshold limited competition for this type of service and that an SME recruitment business was selected. A credible competitor when the requirement returns would need a demonstrable ability to source and supply suitable temporary personnel for Scheme Manager work, serve a UK-wide delivery requirement and participate in a limited competition. Recruitment businesses that can evidence relevant temporary staffing experience, dependable candidate supply and the operational capacity to support a rolling annual arrangement would be well placed to assess similar demand from this buyer.
