Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Surrey & Kent Commercial Services LLP trading as Connect2Surrey is procuring recruitment services for a dynamic purchasing system of temporary worker agencies and interim contractors or consultants seeking preferred-provider listing status. The requirement supports a managed recruitment service for Surrey County Council’s temporary and interim staffing needs, with an option to extend the service to Surrey-maintained schools and academies. The buying organisation is BIP Solutions Limited. Work may support organisations in Surrey and has a wide international delivery scope, covering the United Kingdom, Crown Dependencies, British Overseas Territories and numerous countries across Europe, Asia, Africa, the Americas and Oceania. The procurement is classified as recruitment services and is suitable for service providers operating in temporary staffing, interim recruitment and managed recruitment.

The procurement reached tender: the buyer invited offers through a selective restricted procedure for contracts above the applicable threshold. The tender submission deadline set by the buyer was 4 August 2026 at midnight. The stated contract period runs from 1 February 2028 to 2 February 2028. The opportunity is structured as a dynamic purchasing system rather than a single conventional contract, allowing agencies and providers of interim contractors or consultants to seek preferred-provider listing status. The published procurement category is services. The process identifies suitability for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises. No tender value, lot structure or weighted evaluation basis is stated in the procurement information provided.

This opportunity suits recruitment agencies, staffing businesses and specialist interim-consultancy providers that can supply temporary workers, contractors and consultants through a managed service model. Providers with established candidate networks, robust sourcing and vetting processes, and the operational capacity to respond to public-sector staffing requirements are likely to be well placed. Experience supporting local authorities, schools, academies or other public bodies would be relevant to the stated service, particularly where suppliers can manage varied temporary and interim requirements at scale. The system is expressly suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises, so smaller specialist agencies may compete alongside larger workforce providers. Businesses able to support broad UK and international coverage may also find the delivery scope relevant.
