Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process, initiated by Hackney & Kent Commercial Services LLP T/A Connect2Hackney, pertained to the establishment of a Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) to provide recruitment services to Hackney Borough Council. This process, targeting the services industry, specifically recruitment services under CPV code 79600000, was conducted via a restricted procedure, indicating a selective procurement method. The procurement was completed as of 5th August 2026. The tender offered a managed service approach for temporary and interim recruitment needs in Hackney, conducted by a joint venture between Hackney Borough Council and Commercial Services Kent Ltd. The DPS, however, was terminated, and the related award process was marked unsuccessful.

This tender represented a significant opportunity for businesses in the recruitment and staffing services sector to partner with public entities like Hackney Borough Council. It was particularly beneficial for businesses equipped to manage large-scale recruitment projects, capable of offering dynamic and responsive staffing solutions. The joint venture structure also implied potential long-term collaboration opportunities. Companies offering specialised temporary and interim recruitment services, especially those with the capacity to operate within the borough of Hackney and maintain relationships with local schools and academies, would have been well-suited to compete for this procurement process.
