Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Hackney & Kent Commercial Services LLP, trading as Connect2Hackney, is procuring recruitment services through a dynamic purchasing system (DPS) to create a preferred supplier list for temporary agency workers, contractors and interim staff. The service will provide a managed recruitment approach for Hackney Borough Council’s temporary and interim workforce, with an option to extend managed services to council-maintained schools and academies within the London Borough of Hackney. The arrangement is intended to support the staffing needs of the council and, potentially, those education establishments. The procurement is categorised as recruitment services (CPV 79600000) and falls within the services category. It is relevant to recruitment agencies and managed service providers able to supply temporary, contract and interim personnel for public-sector and education settings.

The procurement reached the tender stage, with the buyer inviting offers through a selective restricted procedure above threshold. It is structured as a dynamic purchasing system for preferred supplier listing. The buyer set the tender submission deadline as 31 March 2025 at 00:00. The intended contract period runs from 1 April 2025 to 1 April 2026 at 23:59:59. The published opportunity identifies suitability for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises. The stated purpose is to establish access to suppliers that can support temporary and interim recruitment for Hackney Borough Council, with possible use by maintained schools and academies in Hackney. The contracting process does not state a monetary value or a separate evaluation weighting.

This opportunity suits established recruitment businesses that can source, vet and place temporary agency workers, contractors and interim professionals for a local authority environment. Suppliers should be able to operate a managed recruitment service rather than provide only individual introductions, supporting a coordinated workforce requirement across the council and potentially its maintained schools and academies. Relevant capability includes maintaining candidate pools, responding to changing staffing requirements, managing temporary and interim placements, and meeting public-sector service expectations. The DPS and preferred supplier list model may suit agencies seeking repeated opportunities to supply across the arrangement, rather than a single isolated placement. The procurement expressly identifies small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises as suitable participants.
