Summary of the contracting process

The current public procurement process, managed by Crescent Purchasing Limited, involves the planned acquisition of temporary and permanent staff recruitment services, classified under the services industry category. The procurement is currently in the planning stage, with a future notice date set for 1st January 2026. The framework is designed to replace the existing agreement that expires on 17th July 2026. Pre-market engagement is slated to commence at the end of 2025, which will shape the framework's structure and operational strategy. The buying organisation, Crescent Purchasing Limited, is a public authority in the sub-central government sector, located in Salford, United Kingdom.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in recruitment services, particularly those capable of providing both temporary and permanent staffing solutions. The planned framework agreement is suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), offering potential access to a wide market over its stipulated contract period from 18th July 2026 to 17th July 2034. The absence of a fixed Lot structure in the new framework indicates potential flexibility and increased opportunities for various suppliers to participate, making it an ideal prospect for growth-oriented businesses aiming to engage in public sector contracts.
