Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the "IT Contract Manager" was conducted by the University of Portsmouth Higher Education Corporation. This project, located in the UKJ3 region, falls under the services industry category, specifically dealing with the supply services of personnel including temporary staff. The process was in the award stage, with the contract being signed on 11th November 2025 and awarded to Burman Recruitment. The procurement method utilised was a limited procedure through the ESPO Framework Agreement 3S-22 Strategic HR Services without prior publication of a call for competition, as it fell outside the directive's application scope. The awarded contract has a value of £37,500.
