Summary of the contracting process

The Equality and Human Rights Commission appointed a temporary agency worker for an Interim Support Worker requirement. The procurement covers recruitment and temporary staffing services, classified under CPV 79600000, rather than the direct delivery of a wider support programme. The work was arranged for delivery across England, Scotland and Wales. The requirement was sourced through the Crown Commercial Service Non Clinical Temporary and Fixed Term Staff Framework, so it concerns a framework-based agency placement for the Commission. Suppliers relevant to this type of requirement are recruitment agencies and temporary staffing providers able to identify, employ or supply suitable support workers for work across the three nations. The buyer is the Equality and Human Rights Commission.

This procurement is complete and has been awarded. It used a selective call-off from a framework agreement, with bids due by 14 August 2023 at 1pm. The award was made on 14 August 2023 to BROOK STREET (UK) LIMITED. The awarded value is recorded as £0, while the procurement had an estimated value of £83,467.80 including VAT status as recorded in GBP. The contract runs from 29 August 2023 to 30 September 2026. The available data records the requirement as goods, although its description concerns recruitment and temporary agency staffing. The process was not identified as suitable for SMEs or voluntary, community and social enterprises. The contract period and award outcome define the completed requirement.

This award shows that the Equality and Human Rights Commission uses a national public-sector framework to obtain interim support-worker capacity through a temporary staffing agency. A credible competitor for a comparable requirement would need access to the relevant framework route, or equivalent public-sector procurement capability, and the ability to source and place suitable temporary personnel across England, Scotland and Wales. It would also need dependable workforce administration, candidate screening, payroll and employment arrangements, and the capacity to support a public body throughout a multi-year engagement. The selected supplier was a large recruitment business, indicating that scale, geographic reach and established agency infrastructure were relevant to delivery. Smaller providers would need to assess framework eligibility and demonstrate comparable reach and operational resilience.
