Summary of the contracting process

The tender process initiated by the University of Plymouth, located in Plymouth, United Kingdom, focused on procuring professional services in the domain of temporary staff supply. This procurement falls under the CPV classification 79620000 for supply services of personnel, including temporary staff. The procurement was conducted using a selective method as a call-off from a framework agreement, RM6277, with the process reaching the award stage. The contract was awarded on 2nd October 2025, with the provision period starting from 28th August to 2nd September 2025. The contract value is set at £35,968 GBP, and it covers the South West region of England.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for growth, especially for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in the professional services industry. Given the preference for SME involvement indicated in the procurement's suitability criteria, businesses specialising in temporary staffing and employment solutions could benefit significantly from entering such collaborations. Cadence Resourcing Limited, a supplier with an SME scale, has already engaged successfully in this opportunity by securing the contract, highlighting the potential for similarly scaled businesses to compete effectively in future opportunities facilitated through frameworks like RM6277.
