## Summary

The procurement process involves Southampton City Council, who has awarded a contract titled "Agency Award" to Reed Specialist Recruitment Limited. This contract falls under the industry category of supply services of personnel, specifically for Health & Social Care, and is based in Southampton, England. The procurement method used was a selective process via a call-off from a framework agreement. The contract commenced on 9th September 2019, and will run until 29th November 2019. The total value of the contract is £33,800, and the tender period has concluded as of 6th September 2019.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses involved in recruitment services, particularly those specialising in temporary staffing for the health and social care sectors. While small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary community social enterprises (VCSEs) were not explicitly targeted in this tender, larger recruitment agencies with experience in public sector contracts may find this an excellent opportunity to expand their portfolio. Companies with robust networks and the capability to quickly supply staff under framework agreements would be particularly well-suited to engage in similar tenders in the future.
