## Summary

The National Archives, located in Richmond, England, conducted a procurement process for the services of an Interim HR Business Partner under the CPV classification of supply services of personnel, including temporary staff. The contract, valued at £31,500, was awarded to HAYS Specialist Recruitment Limited. This selective procurement was part of a call-off from a framework agreement, and the contract period started from 30th October 2025 and ended on 31st January 2026. The tender process progressed from active status to complete, with the award date marked on 27th October 2025. The procurement matched well with the main category of goods, highlighting The National Archives' strategic approach in engaging with large-scale suppliers for temporary staffing solutions.

This procurement presents valuable business growth opportunities, particularly for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) specialising in HR services and temporary staffing support. While a large-scale supplier secured the award, the suitability for SMEs suggests opportunities for future engagement in similar contracts, either independently or collaboratively within framework agreements. Businesses with expertise in personnel supply, especially those agile enough to fulfil temporary roles, can find significant growth avenues aligning with government entities like The National Archives, which regularly require adaptable staffing solutions.
