## Summary

Norwich City Services Limited procured agency staff for grounds work in Norwich. The requirement was an open order for workers supplied to support grounds-related operations, rather than a defined one-off service or a specified list of tasks. The service falls within the supply of commercial or industrial workers category. Delivery was in Norwich, in the local area covered by the buyer. This is relevant to recruitment agencies and workforce suppliers able to provide staff for grounds services and respond to an ongoing or variable staffing requirement for a local public-sector organisation.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded directly to ISQ Recruitment Ltd, without competition, under a below-threshold process. The award is active and the contract is also active. The contract was signed on 8 September 2026 and runs from 8 September to 8 November 2026. Its value is £40,000 excluding VAT and £50,000 including VAT. There was one lot, covering the grounds agency staffing requirement. The published information does not set out separate evaluation criteria; the supplier was selected through the direct-award route rather than a competitive evaluation.

This award shows Norwich City Services Limited buys agency labour to support grounds operations, on a local basis and through a direct-award route for a below-threshold requirement. A supplier competing for a similar future requirement would need to recruit and supply workers suited to commercial or industrial grounds work, and manage staffing needs for the buyer in Norwich. Recruitment capability and the ability to fulfil an open-order arrangement are relevant to this type of demand. The selected supplier, ISQ Recruitment Ltd, is a small or medium-sized enterprise, showing that a business of this scale has served the requirement. The opportunity is most relevant to recruitment agencies with access to appropriate workers and the operational capacity to support the buyer’s grounds staffing needs.
