Summary of the contracting process

The Royal Borough of Windsor and Maidenhead Council has successfully completed the procurement process for the "RBWM Temporary Recruitment Agency Contract," aimed at securing a contingent labour services agency. The contract falls under the recruitment services category (CPV code 79600000), with a total value of £31,500,000. The procurement was conducted using a selective method via a restricted procedure, suitable for contracts above thresholds. Key stages included the tender period, which ended on 3rd February 2025, with the award announced on 17th April 2025. The service delivery extends over the South East region of the United Kingdom and will commence on 16th July 2025, concluding by 15th July 2028.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in recruitment services, particularly those capable of handling large-scale projects. Although the contract has already been awarded to Reed Specialist Recruitment, understanding such contracts can help similar businesses prepare for future opportunities with public organisations like local councils. With a substantial budget and a comprehensive contract period, businesses in the recruitment industry can leverage such contracts to expand their service offerings and establish a strong presence in governmental procurement exercises. This tender, however, was not specifically geared towards SMEs or VCSEs, given the scale and scope of the services required.
