UK1 - Pipeline Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process initiated by West Sussex County Council pertains to the "Temp Agency Worker Services - 2026" within the services industry category. The council, located in Chichester, UK, is navigating through planning stages with intentions to procure temporary staff supply services under CPV code 79620000. Although a tender was initially planned, the procurement approach has been altered to utilise an existing framework via ESPO MSTAR under PCR2015, as of 6th June 2025. The planned contract period extends from April 2026 to March 2031, with further communication anticipated by 1st September 2025.

This tender represents an opportunity for businesses specialising in human resource solutions, particularly those providing temporary agency worker services, to engage with a prominent sub-central government entity. Organisations adept at leveraging framework agreements, such as those available through ESPO, stand at an advantageous position. By aligning with this procurement, these businesses can potentially establish long-term relationships and contribute to the staffing needs across West Sussex. The framework agreement suggests a competitive edge for businesses familiar with ESPO MSTAR, positioning them well within the procurement landscape.
