South Cambridgeshire District Council has completed the procurement process for a Planning Agency Staff Open Framework Contract, targeting the recruitment services sector. This contract, classified under CPV code 79600000, aims to provide temporary planning agency staff through an open framework agreement. Located in Cambourne, UKH12 region, the procurement followed an open procedure, with the tender period ending on 12th August 2025. The framework allows for a 1-year term with the option for extension up to July 2027. Key dates include the contract award date of 15th August 2025, with a total funding value of £2,400,000 GBP allocated per contract to the active suppliers.
