Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the provision of "Workforce solutions" has been conducted by The Electoral Commission, focusing on recruitment services for permanent and contingent labour within the services category. The process employed a selective procurement method, specifically a call-off from a framework agreement, and was conducted in London, England. The contract has reached the award stage, with a total value of £5,000,000, and covers a period from 11th June 2025 to 5th August 2030. The key procurement deadlines included a tender period concluding on 23rd May 2025, with the award being published on 17th July 2025.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in recruitment services, especially those capable of providing innovative workforce solutions. As the procurement was completed via a selective method, it may be particularly attractive to firms already included in relevant frameworks. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are suitable to compete in this landscape, where securing a substantial long-term contract can lead to substantial growth. Businesses operating within or capable of servicing the London area would find this opportunity particularly fitting due to geographical alignment and the contract's size.
