Summary of the contracting process

Commercial Services Kent Ltd, trading as C2K and wholly owned by Kent County Council, established a recruitment managed service for Kent County Council’s temporary and interim staffing requirements. The procurement concerned recruitment services, including the supply of temporary agency workers, contractors and interim personnel through a preferred supplier listing. Delivery covered the United Kingdom. The arrangement was intended to support the council’s workforce needs through C2K’s commercial services operation, rather than directly appointing staff within a single department. The buyer is based in West Malling, Kent. The requirement was structured as a dynamic purchasing system for recruitment agencies and other organisations able to source and provide temporary, contract and interim professionals.

The procurement used a selective restricted procedure and was intended to operate as a dynamic purchasing system. Its sole lot applied quality as the complete evaluation basis, with price carrying no stated weighting. The tender reached complete status, but the lot was cancelled and the associated award was marked unsuccessful and discontinued. The dynamic purchasing system was terminated. The discontinuation was recorded on 6 August 2026. No supplier award, awarded value or contract period is recorded for this outcome. The opportunity was supplemental to OJEU notice 2019/S 249-618596. This is therefore a closed procurement that did not result in an active awarded contract under the recorded process.

This process indicates demand from Kent County Council for a managed supply chain covering temporary agency workers, contractors and interim professionals across the United Kingdom. Suppliers best placed for a comparable requirement would be recruitment agencies or workforce providers with established candidate-sourcing capability across temporary, contract and interim roles. Credibility would depend on demonstrating strong service quality, reliable fulfilment, effective account management and the capacity to support a public-sector managed recruitment service. Because quality was the sole stated evaluation basis, providers should be prepared to evidence delivery standards, candidate reach, compliance processes and the ability to coordinate multiple staffing requirements through a preferred supplier model. The requirement is relevant to firms experienced in public-sector recruitment frameworks or dynamic purchasing systems.
