Summary of the contracting process

The North Western Universities Purchasing Consortium (NWUPC) is conducting a tender for the 'Global Workforce Management Services Lot 4'. This initiative falls within the services category, specifically targeting business services related to law, marketing, consulting, recruitment, and security. The procurement process, which is currently in the Tender stage, began on 1 May 2021 and is set to last for 24 months, concluding on 30 April 2023, with options for extension until April 2025, contingent on satisfactory performance. The contract has a total value of £20 million and is based in the UK, covering multiple regions as it serves various public sector bodies and institutions.

This tender offers significant opportunities for businesses specializing in global workforce mobility services, particularly those able to provide comprehensive immigration, legal, tax, and payroll services for an international workforce. Companies such as consultancies, recruitment agencies, and firms with experience in expatriate services would be well-positioned to compete. Given the collaboration among several educational and public sector consortia, smaller niche providers may also find openings through potential subcontracting arrangements. With the funding sourced from the European Union for eligible projects, this tender may further encourage participation from businesses looking to expand their reach in the public sector market.
