## Summary

The public procurement process involves a framework agreement established by Thirteen Housing Group Ltd for the provision of recruitment services, located in Co Durham, North East England. The procurement method is open, allowing multiple submissions across different lots, with a total value of £8 million over the contract period from 22 June 2020 to 6 June 2022. The initial tender period ended on 18 May 2020, and suppliers selected will work collaboratively with Thirteen, utilising their applicant tracking system, Jobtrain.

This tender offers significant growth opportunities for recruitment agencies, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), given the potential to secure a position as one of the suppliers on the framework. With up to 20 suppliers appointed, agencies with expertise in both temporary and permanent recruitment could find this a beneficial avenue, while those capable of aligning their processes with Thirteen’s requirements may enhance their competitive edge in serving local organisations within the housing sector.

## Notice

Thirteen require the arrangement of a framework agreement to be established for the provision of recruitment services. We will appoint up to 5 suppliers per lot (up to 20 suppliers in total) and bidders can provide a submission for more than one lot. The successful suppliers will be required to work in partnership with Thirteen and use Thirteen's applicant tracking system, Jobtrain, to put forward suitable candidates. This framework will be used for the recruitment services of both temporary and permanent positions. This framework agreement is to be established by Thirteen Housing Group and may be used by organisations within the group. Please note that securing a place on the framework agreement does not guarantee a specific level of recruitment spend with your agency.
