Summary of the contracting process

The Equality and Human Rights Commission procured temporary agency staffing for a Finance Business Partner role. The requirement falls within recruitment services and is classified under CPV 79600000. The work is associated with the Commission’s operations in the North West of England, with the buyer based in Manchester. This is a service requirement rather than a purchase of goods or construction works. The appointed supplier provides recruitment and temporary staffing services for finance professionals. Businesses active in agency recruitment, interim finance placements or specialist public-sector staffing would find the subject matter relevant, particularly those able to support the Commission’s operational needs in the North West.

The procurement has been completed and the contract was awarded to Michael Page on 24 July 2026. It used a selective procedure as a call-off from the CCS Non Clinical Staffing Framework RM6277, rather than an open standalone tender. The tender submission deadline was 23 July 2026 at 1pm. The contract period runs from 29 July 2026 to 28 October 2027. The published awarded value is £0 in GBP. The Equality and Human Rights Commission identified the opportunity as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The award is active, and Michael Page is the named supplier for the Finance Business Partner temporary staffing requirement.

For suppliers that did not win this award, the procurement demonstrates a defined demand for temporary Finance Business Partner staffing from the Equality and Human Rights Commission. The route to market is important: relevant businesses would need access to, or a relationship with, the CCS Non Clinical Staffing Framework and the ability to compete through framework call-offs. A credible competitor would be a recruitment agency or specialist staffing provider with capability in sourcing finance professionals for temporary assignments, managing candidate supply and supporting public-sector hiring processes. The opportunity was identified as suitable for SMEs, so smaller specialist agencies may be commercially relevant where they can provide dependable finance recruitment and delivery.
