UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process led by Derby City Council focused on the title "W699 - Seeking a waiver to continue the employment of an agency member of staff outside the Comensura platform". This tender, categorized under recruitment services, is based in Derby, United Kingdom (region UKF11). Initially initiated as a tender process, it has transitioned through various stages and is currently marked as a contract termination, dated 19 November 2025, due to incorrect details being published. The procurement method was direct, executed below the threshold without competition, for the employment continuation beyond the Comensura framework due to challenges in recruiting permanent staff. The procurement stage had completed before the termination with a contract that was active from 1 September 2025 to 27 February 2026.

This tender originally created a growth opportunity for businesses in the recruitment sector, particularly those capable of supplying agency staff. The award was made to G2V Recruitment Group Limited, a large-scale supplier based in London, confirming the suitability of established recruitment services companies for such contracts. For future opportunities, businesses specialising in staffing solutions, especially those experienced in providing temporary or agency personnel within government frameworks, should consider similar opportunities to expand their service provision within public sector contracts. Despite the termination, it highlights the critical demand for agency staffing in public services, reiterating the potential for businesses to secure future contracts in similar tenders.
