This procurement falls under the services category, specifically the supply services of personnel including temporary staff, and operates within the IT industry framework. The project locations span the North West and London in the United Kingdom.

The contract period commenced on 6th January 2025 and will conclude on 31st March 2026.

Businesses in the IT staffing industry can find growth opportunities through tenders like these, particularly if they are suitably aligned with framework agreements such as CCS RM6277. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) stand to gain, given the selective method favouring such entities, despite the exclusive VCSE suitability. IT service providers with experience in supplying personnel could be well-positioned to compete in similar future procurements due to their familiarity with contract frameworks and regional service provision capabilities.
