The contract involves a call-off from the CCS Workforce Solutions framework agreement (RM6288) and aims to provide professional, managerial, operational, and administrative workers across various regions, including the British Overseas Territories and the United Kingdom. The procurement method utilised is a selective process via a framework agreement, with the contract commencing on 11th July 2025 and running until 5th February 2030, including a potential extension of 18 months. The award was published on 4th August 2025.

This tender represents a significant business opportunity for large-scale businesses capable of providing comprehensive workforce solutions.
