## Summary

Southend-on-Sea City Council has completed a procurement process for the recruitment of advisors to support the transformation of children's commissioning. The contract, titled "Childrens Commissioning Transformation - Advisor Recruitment," is situated within the services industry category, specifically focusing on recruitment services. This contract was awarded on 29th July 2025 and will last from 1st June 2025 to 31st May 2026. The procurement method was below threshold with an unknown specific process. It pertains to the Southend On Sea area, and the contract had a gross value of £34,560.

This tender presents notable opportunities for businesses specialising in recruitment services, particularly those experienced in providing expertise for public sector transformation initiatives.

The recent award to THE ECM GROUP LIMITED, a supplier based in Cheltenham, highlights the potential for growth in the recruitment services sector by partnering with local governments for transformational projects.
