Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the "Temporary B1 Developer" contract, identified as CON 1573, has been completed as of December 2025 by the Office for Standards in Education, Children’s Services and Skills, located in Manchester, England. This tender falls under the industry category of supplying temporary personnel services and was awarded to ADECCO UK LTD as the supplier. The contract services are set to be delivered in the South West region of the United Kingdom, with the contractual period spanning from 18th August 2025 to 30th January 2026. Initiated through a selective procurement method and call-off from a framework agreement, the process has successfully progressed from the tender stage to award, with the last update on the award published on 15th December 2025.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in the provision of temporary staffing services, particularly those that cater to educational and skills organisations. The contract's value, approximately £60,433.56 in GBP, offers a lucrative prospect for suitable small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) looking to expand their operations within the South West region. As the procurement was executed under a framework agreement, businesses already part of these frameworks had additional advantages. The focus on SMEs and the exclusion of VCSE suitability indicates that competitive enterprises in the staffing industry, especially those capable of scaling services efficiently, were well-positioned to benefit from such opportunities.
