The University of the West of England, located in Bristol, served as the buying organisation for the procurement of temporary agency staff for Morrisons, under the TUCO framework reference CAT11056-TU. This procurement process, classified under the supply services of commercial or industrial workers (CPV code 79623000), took place in the South West region of the United Kingdom. The process followed a selective procurement method through a call-off from a framework agreement, and the current stage is the award stage. The tender period concluded on 23rd July 2025, with the contract running from 24th July 2025 to 31st July 2026.
