Summary of the contracting process

Hackney and Kent Commercial Services, trading as Connect2Hackney, sought recruitment services for Hackney Borough Council. The requirement was a managed recruitment service covering temporary agency workers, contractors and interim staff. It also included an option to provide the same managed service for council-maintained schools and academies within the London Borough of Hackney. The procurement was intended to support the council’s temporary and interim recruitment needs and to deliver services for the communities served by the council and its commercial services partners. The work therefore concerned recruitment agency supply and management rather than the direct delivery of council services. The stated delivery location was the United Kingdom, with the operational requirement focused on Hackney and its maintained schools and academies.

The procurement reached the completed stage through a selective restricted procedure using a dynamic purchasing system. It had one lot, covering the managed recruitment service, and evaluation was based entirely on quality, with price given no weighting. The sole lot was cancelled and the associated award was marked unsuccessful. The dynamic purchasing system was terminated on 5 August 2026; no supplier, awarded value, contract period or contract signature is recorded. The published outcome therefore did not create a contract for this requirement. No cancellation or termination reason is stated. The process was managed by Hackney and Kent Commercial Services, trading as Connect2Hackney, the joint venture involving Hackney Borough Council and Commercial Services Kent Ltd.

This outcome is relevant to recruitment agencies and managed service providers able to source and administer temporary workers, contractors and interim professionals for a local authority. A credible competitor would need an established supply network, robust candidate attraction and screening, and the operational capacity to manage recruitment at council scale. Experience of public-sector recruitment would help, particularly where service delivery must be consistent across a council and its maintained schools and academies. Suppliers should also be able to demonstrate strong quality processes, because quality was the sole stated evaluation basis. The requirement indicates demand for an integrated managed recruitment model rather than occasional candidate introductions, so businesses with workforce-management systems, compliance controls and coordinated account management are better aligned with this buyer’s stated needs.
