## Summary

Torfaen County Borough Council has engaged in a public procurement process titled "Engaging specialist recruitment company." This procedure is situated in the recruitment services industry, specifically in the United Kingdom, and pertains to the sub-central government level under Welsh devolved regulations. The contracting process, which commenced via direct procurement below the threshold and without competition, has reached the award stage with an anticipated contract start date on 11th May 2026 and conclusion by 20th November 2026. The procurement aimed to address urgent recruitment needs for specialist resources, following unsuccessful attempts through various advertising platforms. The overall contract value is £74,000, with a gross amount of £88,800, leading supplier Vivid Resourcing of the G2V Recruitment Group Limited based in London as the awardee.

This procurement presents a strategic opportunity for businesses in the recruitment services niche, especially small and medium enterprises, to demonstrate their capability in managing specialist interim placements for public authorities. The tender highlights the demand for swift recruitment solutions in governmental settings, opening avenues for companies with expertise in fulfilling temporary but critical vacancies. Firms with a strong foothold in the recruitment market, notably those experienced in navigating public sector demands, may find lucrative opportunities from similar tenders in the future.

## Notice

Following an extensive advertising campaign, including advertising via the Council's own website and through national recruitment platforms Indeed and Guardian Jobs, no appointment was secured. Due to the urgency of the situation the intention is to use specialist recruitment agency to proceed with the engagement of the identified specialist resource on an interim basis for a period of approximately 6 months
