This contract was managed under the Crown Commercial Services Framework RM6160 for Non Clinical Temporary and Fixed Term Staff, with the procurement method being a selective call-off from a framework agreement. The contract period began on 31 March 2021 and extends until 31 March 2027, with services deployed across the United Kingdom. Classified under CPV code 79620000, the services encompass the supply of temporary personnel, specifically targeting the provision of a Senior Project Manager.
