Summary of the contracting process

Plymouth Community Homes Limited procured recruitment services for a temporary Gas Compliance Manager. The requirement is for an interim management appointment rather than construction, maintenance or the supply of equipment. The selected recruitment supplier, Dawson Jones Recruitment Ltd, is based in Leicester, while the buying organisation is based in Plymouth. The work supports Plymouth Community Homes’ gas compliance management function. This is relevant to recruitment agencies that source temporary managers for regulated gas, housing or property services roles, particularly where the assignment requires a specialist professional to oversee compliance responsibilities. The procurement is categorised as services and relates specifically to the recruitment of one temporary Gas Compliance Manager.

The procurement is complete and was awarded through a direct below-threshold procedure without competition. Dawson Jones Recruitment Ltd was selected as the supplier. The contract was signed on 1 September 2026 and runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 December 2026. Its value is £32,200 excluding VAT, or £38,640 including VAT. The award covers a single lot and the contract is active. The recorded procurement route indicates that Plymouth Community Homes Limited appointed the supplier directly rather than running an open or competitive tender. The requirement was evaluated through that direct-award route, with no competitive award criteria or bid comparison recorded.

For a recruitment business, this award demonstrates a public housing provider’s demand for temporary specialist management recruitment in gas compliance. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need to identify and supply suitably experienced interim candidates for gas compliance management roles, understand the urgency and practicalities of temporary appointments, and manage the recruitment process through to placement. Relevant capability would include access to a reliable network of professionals in gas, housing or property compliance and the capacity to support a short, defined assignment. Dawson Jones Recruitment Ltd, recorded as an SME, shows that this type of requirement can be fulfilled by a smaller specialist recruitment provider rather than only a large national business.
