The process has reached the award stage, with multiple variations extending the contract period through to 31 March 2026. The published award notice was the most recent on 2 April 2026, covering the overall value of £91,706.65 GBP. The geographical location for service delivery is primarily the United Kingdom. This awarded contract presents significant opportunities for small and medium-sized enterprises, with an overall tendency of direct calls to selectively chosen suppliers, as seen with REED Specialist Recruitment Limited being a supplier across variations. The procurement emphasises the provision of non-clinical temporary staffing, suitable for businesses specialising in staffing solutions and personnel supply.
