Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process involves Nottingham Trent University as the buying organisation, which has completed a direct award contract for the "Provision of Cleaning and Administrative Agency Staff." This tender falls under the industry category of recruitment services and was conducted through the Cirrus Framework Agreement. The procurement method used was selective, via a call-off from this framework. The contract, awarded to Hays Specialist Recruitment Limited, is for the supply of agency staffing to Lot 1a (Professional services staff) and Lot 2a (Manual services staff) for roles in cleaning and administration. The contract is valued at GBP 2,000,000, with a performance period from 1st June 2026 to 31st May 2030. The location of the service delivery is specified as Nottingham, with postal code NG1 4FQ.

This tender presents significant opportunities for growth, particularly for businesses capable of providing professional and manual staffing solutions within the recruitment services industry. Although the award went to a large business, Hays Specialist Recruitment Limited, other organisations specialising in similar services may find openings in associated or future tenders. The contracted work involves substantial responsibilities across cleaning and administrative roles, indicating a demand for both skilled professionals and manual workforce supply. Businesses with the capacity to support large-scale staffing needs and flexible service delivery will be well-positioned to compete in such procurements, particularly those familiar with working under framework agreements.
