## Summary

The Council of the Borough of Kirklees commissioned specialist recruitment services to secure an interim Data and Insight Enablement Lead. The post supports delivery of critical data and insight products used to inform operational service delivery. This is temporary personnel recruitment, rather than a contract to deliver data products directly. The work is for the council and is associated with Kirklees, in West Yorkshire. The requirement centres on identifying and placing a suitably experienced interim lead who can enable the council’s data and insight function to provide products that support its operational services.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded to GRAVITAS RECRUITMENT GROUP LIMITED. Kirklees used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition. The contract was signed on 21 September 2026 and runs from 28 September 2026 to 31 March 2027. Its value is £73,500 excluding VAT (£88,200 including VAT). The procurement was a single lot. The published outcome records an active award and an active contract. No evaluation criteria are stated in the available procurement data, so the basis on which the supplier was selected beyond the direct-award route is not described.

For recruitment businesses, this award demonstrates Kirklees’ demand for interim specialist leadership in data and insight, with the role supporting critical products for operational service delivery. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this kind would need to source and place senior professionals who combine data and insight expertise with the ability to enable delivery across a council environment. Recruitment capability should include access to relevant interim candidates and the capacity to respond to a specialist public-sector requirement. The award went to a large recruitment company, showing that a supplier with established recruitment capability met this buyer’s requirement; the record does not state particular accreditations, candidate qualifications or selection criteria.
