## Summary

The Borough of Poole is conducting a procurement process titled "Managed Service Provision of Agency Staffing," aimed at securing a Managed Service Provider to oversee a supply chain of agencies providing temporary staffing services. This contract falls under the services category and has a total estimated value of £5,600,000, with a minimum threshold of £1,400,000. The procurement method is selective, with the contract initiation through a call-off from the Eastern Shires Purchasing Organisation (ESPO) framework for Managed Service for Temporary Agency Resources (MSTAR2). Although the tender period has concluded, the awarded contract is set to commence on 15th December 2017 and will run for one year, with the option for three one-year extensions, potentially extending the total duration to four years. 

Businesses specialising in staffing solutions, particularly those offering management services or agency staffing capabilities, could find valuable opportunities within this procurement process. Companies that can meet the requirements set forth by the Borough of Poole and are capable of managing a network of supply partners would be particularly suited to participate. Given that Comensura has been appointed as the provider, those that can offer innovative staffing solutions and demonstrate strong capabilities in supplier management are likely to thrive in this competitive landscape, potentially securing contracts that build long-term relationships within the public sector.
