Summary of the contracting process

York College has completed the procurement process for the creation of a Framework Agreement for the provision of temporary staff, with two distinct lots: Teaching and Learning Staff, and Professional Services Staff. The procurement method employed was an open procedure, under the legal framework of UKPGA 2023/54. Award notices have been issued as of 29th April 2026, concluding the tender phase and entering the award stage. The standstill period will end on 11th May 2026, with the contract set to commence on 18th May 2026. Located in York, UK, this framework is aimed at the services procurement category, with contracts valued at £900,000 for Lot 1 and £300,000 for Lot 2. Framework agreements are above threshold, with potential contract extensions up to May 2031.

The Framework Agreement provides substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in personnel supply, particularly those capable of providing educational and professional staff on a temporary basis. Large-scale businesses such as Henry Blue, TR2 Recruitment, Reed Specialist Recruitment, and Gill Cooke Personnel Limited, have already been involved, indicating the relevance of established firms. However, SMBs and VCSEs are also encouraged to consider future lot opportunities given the inclusive selection criteria. This tender offers robust avenues for growth in staffing and recruitment sectors, particularly for companies with strengths in delivering service excellence and efficient contract management. With the opportunity for contract extension, it provides a viable route for long-term business engagements and revenue generation.
