Summary of the contracting process

The Office for Standards in Education, Children's Services and Skills, based in Manchester, recently concluded the procurement process for the role of a Temporary Senior People Services Officer, focusing on Pensions. This contract, identified as CON 1606, falls under the industry category of personnel supply services, specifically involving temporary staff. The procurement process was conducted through a call-off from a framework agreement, employing a selective method. The contract period ranged from 15th December 2025 to 31st March 2026, covering services in the North West of the United Kingdom. The award stage was completed, and the contract was awarded to Hays on 12th December 2025, with the announcement being published on 3rd February 2026.

This contract presents growth opportunities for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) specialising in personnel supply services, especially those capable of providing skilled temporary officers in the human resources segment. Although Hays, a well-established supplier, secured the contract, similar future opportunities for temporary staffing in public sectors like educational oversight can provide businesses with recurring revenue streams, underlined by a robust understanding of framework agreements. Enterprises equipped with capabilities in offering temporary vocational expertise can strongly position themselves for comparable opportunities within the public sector.
