Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the "Hays - Temporary Programme Director" contract was conducted by West Sussex County Council, a public body located in Chichester, South East England, at postal code PO19 1RQ. The contracting process has reached the award stage, with HAYS PLC being the awarded supplier for the project categorised under supply services of personnel, specifically temporary staff, within the services industry. The contract, valued at approximately £118,494, commenced on 11 May 2026 and will run until 11 November 2026. This selective procurement was carried out as a call-off from a framework agreement and was officially awarded on 4 May 2026 with the award notice published on 23 June 2026.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in the supply of temporary staffing solutions. Although the procurement process was selective and conducted through a framework agreement, enterprises with established credentials in personnel supply services, particularly those with the capability to meet the needs of public sector organisations, could find similar future opportunities beneficial for business growth. Large-scale suppliers of staffing solutions, similar to HAYS PLC, would be well-suited to compete in such tenders, given their ability to fulfil significant contracts and adhere to public procurement protocols.
