UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Amplius Living procured temporary recruitment agency services to supply trade operatives. The requirement is for agency staffing rather than a works contract: suppliers need to recruit and provide temporary operatives for trade roles. The published scope gives no further breakdown of trades or duties. Delivery is across several parts of England, spanning the West Midlands, Yorkshire and the Humber, the East Midlands, the East of England and the South East. Amplius Living is the buying organisation. The requirement is presented as a single lot, covering recruitment services (CPV 79600000).

The procurement has been awarded and the contract is active. Amplius Living awarded the single-lot requirement to Spirehouse Recruitment Limited. The award was made through a direct, below-threshold procedure without competition. The contract was signed on 3 August 2026 and runs from 4 August 2026 to 3 August 2027. Its stated gross value is £48,000. The tender is recorded as complete, and the contract is active. No award evaluation criteria are set out in the available procurement details.

This award shows that Amplius Living buys temporary agency cover for trade operatives across several English regions, on a modest, single-lot scale. A credible supplier for a future requirement would need the capacity to source and place suitable trade staff quickly across a broad geographical area, and to manage temporary placements reliably for a housing provider. Relevant experience supplying trade operatives through recruitment agency services would be directly aligned. The buyer used a direct, below-threshold route without competition for this award, so suppliers should note that the recorded route was not an open competitive tender. The selected supplier was a small business, demonstrating that this requirement was delivered by an SME.
