Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

This procurement is for recruitment services from temporary worker agencies and agencies supplying interim contractors and consultants. The aim is to create a preferred supplier listing within a dynamic purchasing system, supporting a managed recruitment service for Dudley Metropolitan Borough Council. The arrangement may also support Dudley Council-maintained schools, academy trusts and multi-academy trusts in the borough. BIP Solutions Limited is identified as the buyer, while the requirement description refers to Connect2Dudley, a joint venture involving Dudley Metropolitan Borough Council and Commercial Services Kent Ltd. The work is centred on Dudley, with delivery addresses covering the United Kingdom and a wide range of other countries and territories. The main classification is recruitment services (CPV 79600000).

The buyer invited offers through a restricted procedure above the applicable threshold, using a selective procurement method. The tender reached the offer-invitation stage. The tender submission deadline set by the buyer was 4 August 2026 at midnight. The stated contract period runs from 5 September 2028 to 6 September 2028. The opportunity is a dynamic purchasing system rather than a single conventional recruitment contract, with suppliers joining a preferred supplier listing for temporary and interim recruitment requirements. The published process does not set out a monetary value, lot structure, enquiry deadline or evaluation weighting. It is presented as a service procurement for agencies able to respond to recruitment requirements under the managed service approach.

This opportunity suits recruitment agencies that can supply temporary workers and interim contractors or consultants, and that want to participate in a public-sector preferred supplier listing. Relevant suppliers are likely to have established candidate sourcing, screening, vetting, placement and account-management capabilities, with the capacity to respond to varied workforce requirements for a council and potentially its maintained schools and academy trusts. Agencies offering a managed recruitment service, rather than only individual placements, are particularly aligned with the stated requirement. The arrangement is expressly suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprise organisations, so it may suit specialist agencies as well as larger multi-discipline providers. Experience supplying public bodies, education organisations or high-volume temporary staffing would be commercially relevant.
