Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Nottingham Trent University procured agency staffing for cleaning and administrative roles. The requirement covers both professional services staff and manual services staff, combining recruitment services with the provision of temporary personnel. The work is for the university in Nottingham, with the buyer based at 50 Shakespeare Street. This is a services requirement rather than a goods supply or construction project. It is relevant to recruitment agencies and workforce providers able to source, vet and manage agency personnel for university cleaning and administrative operations. The scope spans both office-based administrative assignments and practical cleaning duties, so suppliers may need capability across professional and manual staffing rather than specialising in only one of these areas.

The procurement is complete and was awarded through a selective procedure as a direct call-off from the Cirrus Agency Labour and Recruitment Framework 3. The framework closed on 25 April 2025 at 12 noon. Nottingham Trent University awarded the contract to Hays Specialist Recruitment Limited on 31 July 2026. The awarded value is £2,000,000 including the stated currency of GBP. The contract period runs from 1 June 2026 to 31 May 2030. The award covers the framework’s professional services staff and manual services staff lots for cleaning and administrative roles. The published process records one active award and one supplier; the award was not divided into separately identified contracts in the available outcome.

This award demonstrates sustained demand from Nottingham Trent University for an agency workforce covering both cleaning and administrative functions, at substantial multi-year scale. A future competitor would need access to reliable pools of professional and manual workers, with recruitment processes suited to different role types and the operational capacity to supply staff consistently across the university’s requirements. Credibility would also depend on managing agency labour effectively, including matching suitable people to assignments, maintaining candidate availability and handling the administration of placements. The buyer used a framework call-off and the requirement was not marked as suitable for SMEs, so suppliers should assess whether they can operate at the scale and framework-based route demonstrated by this award.
