Summary of the contracting process

Caerphilly County Borough Council has completed the procurement process for a managed service providing temporary workers, awarding the contract to Matrix SCM Ltd. The procurement fell under the category of recruitment services and was conducted as a further competition within the Welsh Government framework (WGCD-PCS-119-22). This contract spans from 1 July 2025 to 30 June 2028, with a potential 12-month extension. The services will be delivered within the region of Caerphilly CBC (UKL16). The procurement method was limited, operating without a prior publication of a call for competition, recognising that this procurement was outside the directive's scope. The award of this contract was finalised on 27 June 2025.

This contract presents a robust opportunity for businesses involved in recruitment and personnel services, particularly those offering temporary staffing solutions. It is well-suited for large-scale service providers that can operate within public framework agreements and adapt to the procedural dynamics of limited procurement methods. Companies in the recruitment sector can significantly benefit from the contractual stability and potential extension, marking this as a promising avenue for businesses looking to expand their presence in the public sector. The emphasis on quality (with a 60% weighting in evaluation criteria) alongside cost suggests that those businesses focusing on high-standard service delivery may have a competitive edge.
