Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process titled "Comms-Content & Guidance" is being conducted by the Defra Network eTendering Portal, primarily focusing on recruitment services within the context of the UK's EU Exit transition, specifically regarding the import and export regime. The tender period concluded on 3rd July 2020, with a contract value of £49,390, and the contract duration is set from 4th August 2020 to 31st December 2020. This process utilised a selective procurement method, being a call-off from a framework agreement, likely based in London, England. The procurement stage is currently in the award phase as of 25th August 2020.

This tender presents a notable opportunity for businesses engaged in recruitment services, particularly those that are SMEs, given the scale of the contract and the intended outcomes related to the food and welfare standards in the UK. Companies that specialise in providing human resource support, advisory services, or staffing solutions would be particularly well-suited to compete. Moreover, firms familiar with government procurement processes and those able to navigate e-tendering systems like Bravo Solutions would have a competitive advantage in this contracting opportunity.
