## Summary

Leicestershire County Council has engaged in a public procurement process for "Temporary Staffing Supply," aiming to address staffing needs for 24/7 Council-operated services like Supported Living and Short Breaks. The contract, valued at GBP 360,000, was awarded directly on 17th June 2026 due to an urgent requirement for specialist skills to ensure safeguarding for individuals with learning disabilities. The contract is set in Leicester, UK, and falls under the services category, specifically recruitment services according to the CPV classification 79600000. The procurement method was a direct award, justified by pressing safeguarding needs and the inability of the Council's usual agency supplier to provide appropriately skilled staff swiftly. This reflects the contracting authority's priority to maintain statutory care duties without delay.

This tender provides substantial business growth opportunities, particularly for organisations that can deliver targeted staffing solutions in a specialist area such as social care. Businesses that have demonstrated expertise in recruitment for public service sectors and those capable of meeting high urgency and skill-specific demands will find this environment particularly beneficial. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with a robust delivery mechanism for specialised staffing can compete effectively, especially those with agility to adapt to immediate and critical needs within local government operations. By stepping into this space, enterprises can enhance their portfolio of public sector clients and reinforce their reputation in urgent service delivery.

Temporary Staffing Supply to meet the staffing demands of 24/7 Council operated provisions that include Supported Living and Short Breaks (Direct Services)

### Procurement Information

The contract has been awarded directly due to urgent safeguarding requirements within a specialist learning disability service. The Council's contracted agency provider is unable to supply workers with the required specialist skills and experience to safely support service users. Failure to secure appropriately qualified staff immediately would present a significant risk to the health, safety, and wellbeing of vulnerable individuals and compromise the Council's statutory care duties. Due to the specialised nature of the requirement and the need for immediate continuity of care, only this supplier is capable of delivering the service within the required timeframe. A competitive procurement could not be undertaken without unacceptable delay and associated safeguarding risk. The direct award is therefore considered necessary and proportionate in the circumstances, and allows the Council to secure a provider able to meet the requirement immediately. A wider contract for temporary resourcing is in the pipeline.
