Summary of the contracting process

The UK Health Security Agency has completed a procurement process for the provision of contingent labour to address a backlog during ongoing recruitment efforts. This contract falls under the industry category of "Supply services of personnel including temporary staff" and is located in England, United Kingdom. The buying organisation, UKHSA, based in London, has awarded the contract to VENN GROUP LIMITED. This tender is part of a selective procurement method, specifically a call-off from a framework agreement. The contract was active as of 30th September 2025, with the contract period running from 1st October 2025 to 31st March 2026, valued at £141,888.60.

This tender represents a significant business opportunity for companies capable of providing temporary staffing services, particularly those with a capacity for large-scale operations, given that SMEs and VCSEs were not considered suitable for this contract. Companies in the temporary staffing sector could leverage such opportunities to expand their client base within the public sector, particularly in fulfilling critical staffing needs in the healthcare sector. The framework agreement approach also signals potential future opportunities within this framework, allowing businesses with a reliable track record in personnel supply to establish themselves as essential partners to the UKHSA.
