## Summary

Bath & North East Somerset Council procured interim Assistant Director support through an external provider. The requirement is classified as recruitment services and concerns the supply of interim executive capacity rather than a permanent appointment or a wider programme of consultancy. The selected provider, Tile Hill Interim & Executive Limited, is based in Letchworth Garden City and supplies interim and executive recruitment services. The work is for Bath & North East Somerset Council and supports its public authority functions. The procurement comprises one requirement. It is relevant to businesses specialising in interim executive recruitment, senior public-sector placements or the provision of experienced managers for temporary leadership assignments. Providers whose core offer is unrelated to recruitment or interim management are unlikely to be relevant.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Tile Hill Interim & Executive Limited. The council used a direct award below the relevant threshold without competition. The contract was signed on 11 August 2026 and runs from 11 August 2026 to 11 February 2027. Its value is £120,000 excluding VAT, or £144,000 including VAT. The tender described a total potential value of £120,000 excluding VAT and confirmed that there are no extensions available. The award is active and the contract is active. Evaluation through a competitive tender was not used, because the procurement method was direct award below threshold without competition. There was one completed lot.

This procurement demonstrates demand from Bath & North East Somerset Council for temporary senior leadership capacity sourced through an interim executive recruitment specialist. A credible future competitor would need access to experienced Assistant Director-level candidates, the ability to assess their suitability for public authority work and the capacity to manage a senior interim placement from introduction through engagement. Useful evidence would include successful delivery of comparable interim management or executive recruitment assignments, an understanding of council operating environments and the ability to respond to a defined leadership need. The awarded provider is recorded as an SME and a voluntary, community or social enterprise, indicating that this type of requirement can be delivered by a specialist smaller supplier rather than only a large corporate recruitment business.
