## Summary

The Ministry of Justice is conducting a procurement process titled "Supply services of personnel including temporary staff" aimed at establishing a framework agreement for the temporary recruitment of agency probation workers across England and Wales. This procurement process is currently in the Award stage, with a contract value estimated at £19,000,000 over a four-year period, which began on 4th July 2016 and will expire on 3rd July 2020. Interested suppliers are encouraged to register via the Ministry of Justice’s eSourcing Portal to take part in the ongoing competition, with the deadline for tender submissions having been 23rd February 2016.

This tender offers significant opportunities for businesses in the recruitment and staffing sector, particularly those specialising in legal and judicial services. Companies capable of providing qualified Senior Probation Officers, Probation Officers, and Probation Services Officers would be well-positioned to compete, especially those with the ability to operate across multiple geographic regions specified in the tender. As the contract requires managing high volumes of temporary staff, larger firms as well as small to medium enterprises (SMEs) with competitive capabilities may find it beneficial to engage in this procurement process.
