UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Kingston upon Hull City Council extended its non-permanent staffing arrangement, buying recruitment services to provide temporary workforce support. The named requirement is for non-permanent staffing; the procurement does not describe specific job roles or departments. The work is for the council in Hull, with delivery identified in the wider East Midlands region of the UK. The selected supplier is Comensura Limited, a recruitment services provider. This is a staffing service rather than a purchase of goods or construction work, and would be relevant to agencies or workforce-management businesses able to supply temporary personnel to a local authority.

The procurement is complete and the council selected Comensura Limited through a direct award below the threshold, without competition. The single lot is complete and the award is active. The contract was signed on 8 September 2026 and runs from 8 September 2026 to 9 September 2027. Its value is £2.75 million excluding VAT (£3.3 million including VAT). The award covers recruitment services for the non-permanent staffing extension. The published procurement information does not set out an evaluation basis or eligibility conditions for this direct award; there was no competitive tender against which suppliers were assessed.

This award shows Kingston upon Hull City Council has a substantial requirement for non-permanent staffing and has used an external recruitment services supplier to meet it. Businesses seeking to compete for similar work with this buyer would need to demonstrate the ability to source and manage temporary staff at local-authority scale, maintain a dependable supply across the roles the council requires, and handle the administration of a staffing service. Comensura Limited, identified as a large supplier, was selected for the extension. The procurement was awarded directly without competition, so the published outcome does not evidence specific accreditation, technical thresholds or scored capabilities that determined the selection. Recruitment agencies and workforce-management providers with public-sector delivery experience are the closest fit.
