Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the "Temporary Personal Assistant" contract, under the recruitment services category, has been completed by the Office for Standards in Education, Children's Services and Skills (OFSTED) located in Manchester, England. This contract is a call-off from the Crown Commercial Services Framework Agreement RM6277 and is valued at £15,884. The contract spans from 8 December 2025 to 31 March 2026. The contract was awarded to Val Wade Recruitment Ltd on 6 December 2025, with the award notice published on 15 December 2025. Since the procurement method was selective, it likely involved pre-qualified suppliers. The primary sector related to this contract is goods, focusing on recruitment services in the UK.

This tender provides an opportunity for businesses specialising in recruitment services, particularly those familiar with framework agreements. Although the contract does not have suitability preferences for SMEs or voluntary, community and social enterprises (VCSEs), large recruitment agencies with experience in personnel provision can consider similar opportunities in the future. Being awarded by a significant organisation such as OFSTED signals recognition in the educational services sector, which can enhance business reputation and growth potential. Businesses with strong administrative support capabilities and familiarity with the public sector could leverage such contracts for future business expansions.
