Summary of the contracting process

Luton Borough Council, in partnership with Commercial Services Kent Ltd, has initiated a Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) focused on recruitment services. The procurement process, managed by the newly formed joint venture Connect2Luton (C2L), aims to establish a preferred supplier list for temporary agency, contractor, and interim agencies. The tender is open for the recruitment needs of Luton Borough Council, with services potentially extending to LBC maintained Schools and Academies in the borough. Key dates for the procurement process have been amended, with the new deadline for the receipt of tenders or requests to participate set for 23 February 2029.

This tender offers substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in recruitment services, particularly those with experience in managing large-scale temporary and interim staffing needs. Companies adept at providing comprehensive managed services in recruitment will find this opportunity beneficial for growth, as success could lead to preferred supplier status with the Council and its associated schools and academies. Businesses that can demonstrate high-quality service delivery and efficient recruitment solutions will be well-suited to compete for inclusion in this DPS.
