Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Commercial Services Kent Ltd, trading as C2K and wholly owned by Kent County Council, is seeking temporary agency, contractor and interim recruitment agencies for a preferred supplier listing. The service will support a managed recruitment approach for Kent County Council’s temporary and interim staffing needs. This is a recruitment services opportunity (CPV 79600000), covering the supply and management of temporary workers, contractors and interim personnel rather than permanent recruitment. Delivery is intended across the United Kingdom and a wide range of overseas territories and countries, including Europe and other international locations. The opportunity is therefore relevant to recruitment businesses with the reach and operational capability to source and manage temporary and interim personnel across multiple jurisdictions.

The procurement reached tender: the buyer invited offers through a restricted procedure above the threshold, using a selective procurement method. The published tender deadline was 31 March 2025 at 00:00 UK time. The contract period was set to run from 1 April 2025 to 1 April 2026 at 23:59 UK time. Its stated maximum value is £500,000,000 including the published currency of GBP. The requirement is presented as a dynamic purchasing system for a preferred supplier listing, allowing recruitment agencies to support the council’s temporary and interim staffing requirements. The tender is identified as a services procurement and is suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises.

This opportunity suits recruitment agencies that provide temporary workers, contractors and interim professionals and can operate within a managed recruitment service. Suppliers should be able to source candidates, handle the practical administration of temporary and interim placements, and support the staffing needs of a large local authority. The broad delivery geography favours businesses with established UK coverage and the ability to recruit or manage personnel internationally where required. Both SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises are identified as suitable organisation types, so participation is not limited to large national recruitment groups. Agencies with dependable candidate networks, responsive fulfilment processes and experience supplying public-sector or complex multi-site organisations are likely to be well placed.
