## Summary

The University of Plymouth has awarded a contract for IT Professional Recruitment with a total value of £1,000,000. The procurement method used was selective, calling off from a framework agreement. The tender period ended on January 5, 2024, with the contract period spanning from January 25, 2024, to January 24, 2026. The University is located in Plymouth, South West England, and the industry category is recruitment services.

This tender presents a business growth opportunity for IT recruitment agencies and professionals with specialist SITS skills. SMEs are well-suited to compete, as the tender is geared towards filling niche roles within the University of Plymouth's SRS programme. The contract awarded to Cadence Resourcing Ltd for £200,000 demonstrates the potential for companies in this sector to secure profitable contracts through this procurement process.

## Notice

The SRS programme is based on our main campus in Plymouth and employs a mixture of full-time employees, fixed term contracts and remote contractors. As the programme prepares for a complex delivery period over the next 2 years there is a need to expand the team and fill some specific roles with specialist SITS-skilled resources. In order to achieve this, the programme will be approaching the contractor market to fill some of these niche roles.
