## Summary

The Equality and Human Rights Commission bought temporary agency staffing for an Assistant Board Secretary role. The requirement was for an appointment to support the Commission’s board-secretariat function, rather than a broader recruitment or staffing service. The Commission is based in Manchester, and the recorded delivery location is the United Kingdom. This is a services requirement in recruitment and temporary staffing. The opportunity shows demand for a temporary Assistant Board Secretary supplied through an agency.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Hays Specialist Recruitment Limited on 22 September 2026. The Commission used a selective call-off from the CCS Non Clinical Staffing Framework (RM6277). The tender deadline was 18 September 2026 at 1pm. The contract period runs from 23 September 2026 to 31 March 2027. The published award value is £0. The requirement was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. No lots or evaluation criteria are recorded in the published procurement details.

For recruitment businesses, this award is evidence of demand for temporary agency support in a board-secretariat role at the Equality and Human Rights Commission. The route used was a call-off from the CCS Non Clinical Staffing Framework, so framework participation is relevant to competing for this type of requirement. The recorded SME suitability indicates that smaller businesses were considered suitable for the procurement. A credible competitor would need to supply an appropriate temporary Assistant Board Secretary through the framework route. The award identifies the type of role and staffing arrangement the Commission purchased; it does not establish further accreditation, experience or capacity requirements.
