Summary of the contracting process

Scottish Borders Council procured temporary staffing services covering administrative, catering and manual roles. The requirement was delivered through the Scottish Government’s Temp Admin, Catering & Manual Staff Services Framework, fourth generation, South Region, and relates to the council’s operational staffing needs. In practical terms, relevant suppliers are recruitment businesses able to source, vet and place temporary workers across these three areas, rather than suppliers of permanent staffing alone or unrelated facilities services. The procurement is classified under CPV 79620000, covering the supply of personnel including temporary staff. The buying organisation is Scottish Borders Council, a local authority serving the Scottish Borders. The awarded supplier, Venesky Brown Recruitment Ltd, is an SME recruitment company.

This procurement is complete and has been awarded through an open procedure as a call-off from the Scottish Government framework. It covered one lot for temporary administrative, catering and manual staff services. The contract was signed on 1 April 2025 and covered the 12-month period from 1 April 2025 to 31 March 2026. The recorded contract value was £97,580.80. Venesky Brown Recruitment Ltd was awarded the contract. One bid was recorded, and it came from an SME; the bid was submitted electronically. The process was conducted under the framework’s South Region arrangement. This is a contract award for completed call-off spend, rather than an invitation to tender or a new competition. The contract is recorded as active.

This procurement shows established demand from Scottish Borders Council for a single recruitment provider able to supply temporary workers across office administration, catering and manual roles. Suppliers best placed for a future requirement would have a broad temporary-workforce network, responsive candidate sourcing, robust right-to-work and suitability checks, and the operational capacity to cover varied job types at short notice. Experience of public-sector recruitment and working within a government framework would be commercially important, as would reliable payroll, worker support, timesheet and compliance processes. The award to an SME indicates that a specialist or mid-sized recruitment business can serve this requirement without needing to be a national facilities-services group. A credible competitor should be able to manage multi-role staffing for a local authority through one accountable service.
