| Notice Type: | Award notice |
| Buyer: | South Holland District Council |
| Main Category: | Services |
| Procurement Method: | Direct award |
| Method Rationale: | The contracting authority intends to make a direct award for the provision of specialist recruitment services without competition, due to the specific characteristics of the relevant market. The requirement relates to a highly specialised field for which there is a limited pool of suitably qualified contractors and consultants. In this sector, it is standard market practice for specialists to be registered exclusively with a single recruitment agency, often supported by contractual arrangements that prevent registration with multiple agencies. As a consequence, alternative suppliers are unable to provide lawful or practical access to the same specialist resource. In light of these market constraints, competition would be ineffective and would not reasonably be expected to identify additional capable suppliers or deliver improved outcomes. A competitive procurement process would therefore be unlikely to generate meaningful or viable bids. The proposed direct award to Vivid Resourcing, a division of G2V Recruitment Group Limited, is considered proportionate, supports continuity of service delivery, and represents value for money when assessed against prevailing market rates. Transparency is being maintained through the publication of this notice in accordance with the Procurement Act 2023. |

The contracting authority intends to directly award a contract for the provision of specialist recruitment services to Vivid Resourcing, a division of G2V Recruitment Group Limited. Due to the highly specialised nature of the requirement and the structure of the market, where suitably qualified specialists are typically engaged exclusively through a single recruitment agency, competition would be ineffective and unlikely to deliver viable alternative options. The direct award is considered proportionate, supports continuity of service delivery, and represents value for money in line with prevailing market rates.
