UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Wirral Council procured recruitment services for social workers to support delivery of its statutory social work services. The requirement was for recruitment rather than the direct provision of social work, with services delivered in the Wirral area. The procurement covered one lot and was awarded to Leaders in Care Recruitment Limited, a recruitment supplier based in Manchester.

The procurement is complete and the contract is active. Wirral Council used a direct award without competition under a below-threshold procedure. Leaders in Care Recruitment Limited was selected for the single lot. The contract was signed on 8 July 2026 and runs from 8 July to 30 September 2026. Its value is £88,000 gross. The award is for social worker recruitment services; no separate evaluation criteria are stated in the process details.

This award shows Wirral Council’s demand for recruitment support for statutory social work services, delivered in the Wirral area. A supplier aiming to compete for a similar requirement would need to demonstrate an ability to identify and place suitably qualified social workers, and to respond to the council’s recruitment needs within a short, defined service period. Relevant recruitment experience and capacity to source candidates for public-sector social work roles would be important to establishing credibility. The contract was awarded directly without competition, so suppliers should also understand that this route was used for this purchase; the process does not set out a competitive evaluation basis to target.
