## Summary

The Parliamentary and Health Service Ombudsman (PHSO) has completed the procurement process for an "Agency Recruitment Services Framework" aimed at providing recruitment services across various levels, including temporary and permanent personnel, in the North West and London regions of the United Kingdom. The tender, part of an open procurement method, has a total value of £500,000 and was active until the tender deadline on 12 July 2017. The contract commenced on 1 December 2017 and is set to conclude on 30 November 2019.

This framework presents significant opportunity for recruitment agencies, particularly those specialising in entry to management level placements and various support roles such as administration, HR, and finance. Agencies with expertise in diverse departmental recruitment will find this tender particularly advantageous, given that PHSO does not guarantee any exclusive arrangements or retainer fees, allowing multiple qualified agencies to compete effectively for business. This process could foster growth for recruitment consultancy firms capable of adapting to the varied needs of a public sector client.

## Notice

This procurement opportunity is for inclusion on PHSO's Recruitment Agency Framework, to provide temporary and permanent personnel from entry to management level and for ad hoc Support roles (e.g. Admin, HR, Facilities, Finance...etc.).Agencies on the Framework will specialise in one or more particular department. PHSO is not able to offer any exclusive arrangements for any of the agencies on our PSL and thus will not commit to any retainer fees. We are also unable to guarantee the level of business that can be expected to be placed with framework suppliers.
