Summary of the contracting process

The public procurement process for the NEPO508 Agency Workers contract has been completed, and the award has been made. Darlington Borough Council, the buying organisation, pursued a selective procurement method through call-off from a framework agreement to secure temporary staffing services under the CPV classification 79620000, which includes supply services of personnel. Located in the North East of the United Kingdom, this procurement falls under the category of services. The contract period is set from 1st May 2025 to 30th April 2031, with a total contract value of £18,000,000. The award phase concluded on 1st April 2025, engaging Comensura Limited as the supplier.

This tender offers substantial opportunities for business growth for those in the temporary staffing and personnel supply industry. Businesses that specialise in delivering supply services of temporary staff could leverage their expertise to meet the needs outlined in this framework agreement. Large enterprises, as represented by the supplier Comensura Limited, typically better suit this kind of procurement, given the contract's scale and long duration. While neither small and medium enterprises (SMEs) nor voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) were explicitly targeted in this process, enterprises with robust staffing networks can ultimately benefit from expanding their client base through such government contracts.
