## Summary

Great Yarmouth Borough Council procured recruitment services to provide one Principal Planning Officer for its Planning Department. The work was delivered in Great Yarmouth. The requirement was for agency staffing to fill a senior planning role, rather than for a broader planning consultancy service.

The procurement is complete and the contract is active. The council made a direct award without competition under a below-threshold procedure. VIVID RESOURCING DIV GV2 RECRUITMENT GRP was selected. The contract was signed on 28 September 2026, runs from 29 to 30 September 2026, and is valued at £68,500 excluding VAT (£82,200 including VAT). The procurement was a single lot. No award evaluation criteria are stated.

This award shows demand from Great Yarmouth Borough Council for agency recruitment to supply a Principal Planning Officer to its Planning Department. Recruitment firms with access to experienced planning professionals, and the ability to source and place a candidate for a council planning role, are the most directly relevant competitors if the requirement returns. The award was made directly without competition, so the route used here did not involve competing bids. Suppliers assessing similar work for this buyer should be able to demonstrate a credible pool of suitably experienced planning candidates and understand public-sector agency staffing needs. The requirement was for one officer, so specialist recruitment capability is more pertinent than the scale to deliver a large, multi-role staffing programme.
