## Summary

Ashfield District Council procured a temporary payroll adviser through a recruitment agency. The requirement is a professional recruitment and temporary staffing service to provide payroll advisory capacity for the council. The procuring entity was Nottinghamshire County Council, acting as the recruitment agency for the council’s temporary payroll adviser requirement. The work is delivered for Ashfield District Council in Nottinghamshire, England. The procurement is categorised as services, with the wider classification covering business services including consulting and recruitment. It formed a single requirement rather than a multi-service programme, and the stated scope is focused on supplying a temporary payroll adviser rather than delivering a broader payroll outsourcing service.

The procurement is complete and was awarded through a below-threshold procedure with the detailed method recorded as unknown. One lot was awarded. The contract was signed on 10 August 2026 and awarded on 30 July 2026 to SERVICE CARE SOLUTIONS LTD. Its value is £17,813.28 excluding VAT, or £21,375.94 including VAT. The contract runs from 12 August 2026 to 31 December 2026, with an option to extend by a further three months to 31 March 2027, subject to Ashfield District Council’s budget approval. The award is active and the contract is active. The published information identifies services as the procurement category; no separate qualitative or price evaluation basis is recorded.

This procurement demonstrates demand from Ashfield District Council for short-term payroll advisory resource supplied through a recruitment agency. Suppliers best placed for comparable requirements would be recruitment and temporary staffing businesses able to identify payroll professionals quickly and manage their placement with a public-sector client. Relevant capability includes understanding payroll operations and advisory work, screening candidates for suitable technical experience, handling temporary assignments, and supporting contract administration through the engagement. The incumbent, SERVICE CARE SOLUTIONS LTD, is recorded as an SME, showing that the requirement was not limited to a large national provider. A credible competitor would therefore need a reliable pool of payroll specialists, an effective recruitment process and the ability to work with council procurement and budget controls.
