Summary of the contracting process

The public procurement process hosted by Plymouth City Council, titled "27286 - temporary care staff," has recently reached the award stage. This process falls under the industry category of recruitment services (CPV code 79600000) and was conducted using the open procedure method. The contract is valued at GBP 25,426.85, and the delivery location is England, United Kingdom. The tender period concluded on 19th October 2024, and the contract commenced on 21st October 2024, with an end date of 28th October 2024. Plymouth City Council, located in Plymouth, facilitated this process with Sarah Stevens as the contact point. The tender process culminated in an active award on 20th October 2024, with the award notice published on 15th October 2025.

This tender presents significant opportunities for growth for organisations operating within the realm of recruitment services, particularly those capable of providing temporary care staff. While the primary award went to Nurse Plus & Care Plus (UK) Ltd, businesses specialising in similar services may find potential in future tenders with Plymouth City Council. Large-scale companies, in particular, may gain a competitive advantage given the council's preference, although SMEs can also prepare to participate in similar opportunities by building capacity to meet the requirements of public procurements in this sector.
