Summary of the contracting process

The Oxford City Council and Oxford Direct Services Ltd are currently in the planning stage for a public procurement process titled "Temporary Staffing Prior Information Notice (PIN)". This initiative is focused on the recruitment services industry and aims to engage prospective suppliers regarding temporary staffing requirements. An open day is scheduled for 3rd March 2020 in Oxford, with a deadline for engagement set for 3rd March 2020. The expected total value of this procurement is £12,000,000. Suppliers need to note that this PIN does not constitute a call for competition but rather seeks to gather solutions available in the marketplace before a formal tender is released in March to April 2020.

This procurement process presents significant business opportunities, particularly for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary/community sector enterprises (VCSEs) that specialise in recruitment services. Businesses that offer innovative staffing solutions or have experience in temporary staff provision will be particularly well-suited to participate. Engaging with the open day will provide a valuable opportunity to understand the specific needs of the Oxford City Council and Oxford Direct Services Ltd, allowing businesses to tailor their proposals effectively for the forthcoming tender.
