## Summary

The Cirrus Consortium Agency Labour and Recruitment Services Framework 2025 has announced the award for a public procurement process managed by Cirrus Purchasing Ltd, with Halton Housing serving as the principal contracting authority. This procurement process, classified under CPV code 79600000 for recruitment services, covers multiple lots including professional, manual, executive, and management level staff, as well as neutral and master vendor arrangements. The framework is relevant for England, Scotland, and Wales, and was awarded on 27th August 2025, with the contract period starting from 25th September 2025 to 24th September 2029. The framework had an estimated value of £800,000,000 and was conducted through an open procedure, aligning with the Public Contracts Regulations 2015. Suitable for SMEs, this process has been completed, with awards published on 24th September 2025.

This framework provides a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in recruitment services, particularly those able to supply or manage a wide range of staffing needs across numerous sectors and professional levels. Given its considerable value and expansive reach across Great Britain, the framework is well-suited for agencies looking to establish or expand their presence in the public sector staffing marketplace.
