Summary of the contracting process

Connect2Framework for The Supply of Legal Services to the Public Sector is procuring specialist legal services and support through interim and temporary staffing services. The requirement is for supplying personnel, including temporary staff, to public sector organisations. The buyer is Connect2Framework for The Supply of Legal Services to the Public Sector, a sub-central public authority based in Kings Hill, Kent. The framework can be used by its joint venture partnerships and other contracting authorities in the United Kingdom and Channel Islands. Eligible users include local authorities, NHS bodies, police forces, fire and rescue services, educational institutions, registered charities, and publicly owned or funded companies. This is a services procurement focused on sourcing specialist personnel to support public sector legal requirements.

The procurement has reached the award stage and the tender is complete. It used an above-threshold open procedure for one lot. One valid bid was received, from Spirehouse Recruitment Limited, which was selected as the supplier. The award was made on 26 August 2026 and has a value of £110,000,000 gross. The standstill period ends on 7 September 2026. The contract period is scheduled to run from 5 October 2026 to 28 February 2034. The framework permits call-offs with or without reopening competition; markup rates are specified, while hourly or daily rates are agreed at call-off. Evaluation was based on proven ability to supply. A win fee equal to 3% of the award value applies.

This procurement demonstrates substantial public sector demand for specialist interim and temporary staffing support connected with legal services. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need to show a proven ability to supply suitable personnel, rather than simply provide general recruitment services. Relevant strengths include access to specialist legal candidates, effective temporary and interim placement processes, and the capacity to support different public sector bodies across the United Kingdom and Channel Islands. Suppliers should also be able to operate within a framework model, provide clear markup rates, and agree hourly or daily rates for individual call-offs. The opportunity is identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, indicating that a focused staffing business with sufficient specialist reach and delivery capacity could compete.
