UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Newark and Sherwood District Council commissioned a licensing officer contractor to complete retrospective licensing records and then handle the day-to-day receipt and processing of applications. This operational support was intended to free the council’s officer, Narelle Plowright, to work on Idox projects, including Public Access and online forms. The requirement is for licensing administration and application-processing support, rather than recruitment services themselves, despite the recruitment classification attached to the contract. The work supports the council’s licensing function in Newark and Sherwood, Nottinghamshire. The contract was awarded to G2V Recruitment Group Limited, a recruitment group based in London, to provide the contractor for this council requirement.

The procurement is complete and the contract is active. The council used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition. G2V Recruitment Group Limited was selected for the single lot. The contract was signed on 25 April 2025 and runs from 28 April 2025 to 27 June 2026. Its value is £45,500 excluding VAT and £54,600 including VAT. The award is recorded as active; no separate award date is stated. The procurement records describe the work and identify the supplier, but do not set out evaluation criteria or participation requirements. This outcome shows that the council procured an individual licensing officer contractor to complete records and process applications, enabling its existing officer to focus on digital licensing projects.

For suppliers considering comparable future licensing support for Newark and Sherwood District Council, the demonstrated requirement combines backlog clearance with reliable day-to-day application administration. A credible provider would need to supply an experienced licensing officer able to complete retrospective records accurately, manage incoming applications and process them consistently, while maintaining continuity across both tasks. The work also needs to fit alongside the council’s Idox-based improvement activity, including Public Access and online forms, so familiarity with licensing systems and digital application workflows would be relevant. The contract indicates demand for focused contractor capacity that releases an existing council officer for project work, rather than a broad recruitment or software-development service. The award followed a below-threshold direct route without competition, and was made to a recruitment group supplying contractor capacity.
