Summary of the contracting process

The public procurement process for temporary staffing services has been finalised by the University of Derby. The procurement, titled "Temporary Staffing," falls under the recruitment services category, targeting the East Midlands region in the United Kingdom. The contract, with a value of £70,000, was awarded on 30th July 2025 and is part of a selective procurement process using a framework agreement. The contract covers the period from 1st August 2025 to 30th November 2025. This tender, initiated as a 'call-off' from the CCS framework RM6277 for non-clinical staffing, specifically Lot 1: Admin & Clerical, was managed by the Procurement Team at the University of Derby. The procurement process has now reached the award stage, confirming Blue Arrow Ltd as the successful supplier.

This contract presents a lucrative opportunity for businesses specialising in recruitment services, particularly those with experience in providing temporary admin and clerical staff. The selective procurement method implies that businesses previously part of similar frameworks may have competitive advantages. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) would find this tender particularly accessible, given the specified suitability criteria. Companies operating within the recruitment industry could leverage this opportunity to demonstrate their expertise and reliability in fulfilling staffing needs, potentially facilitating further growth and establishment of long-term procurement relationships with higher education institutions or public sector clients.
