## Summary

Lancaster City Council procured recruitment services for an Environmental Protection Officer. The requirement is focused on finding and appointing a suitably qualified officer for the council’s environmental protection function, rather than on construction, engineering or physical environmental works. The buying organisation is Lancaster City Council, based at Lancaster Town Hall in Lancaster. The service falls within the broad category of professional services, with the procurement classification referring to architectural, construction, engineering and inspection services. The awarded supplier is Vivid Resourcing, a London-based small and medium-sized enterprise. This opportunity is therefore relevant to recruitment businesses able to source candidates for specialist local-government environmental protection roles and manage the associated appointment process.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded to Vivid Resourcing. Lancaster City Council used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition. The single lot is complete. The contract was signed on 13 August 2026 and runs from 24 August 2026 to 31 March 2027. Its value is £26,455 excluding VAT and £31,746 including VAT. The contract is active. The award covers recruitment services for the Environmental Protection Officer requirement. No competitive tender evaluation was used: the contract was awarded through the council’s below-threshold direct-award route. Businesses reviewing this result should treat it as evidence of a completed purchase rather than an opportunity to submit a bid.

This procurement demonstrates demand from Lancaster City Council for specialist recruitment support in environmental protection. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need to identify suitable candidates for local-government environmental protection work, understand the skills and experience expected in that role, and manage recruitment through to appointment. Experience supplying staff or permanent appointments to councils would help demonstrate familiarity with public-sector requirements, governance and timescales. The successful supplier is an SME, indicating that this type of requirement can be delivered by a focused recruitment business rather than only a large corporate provider. Relevant firms should build evidence of successful specialist placements, candidate networks in environmental or regulatory services, and reliable delivery for a single-officer requirement.
