## Summary

West Sussex County Council initiated a procurement process for the recruitment of a temporary programme director, valued at £118,494. This process, categorised under recruitment services (CPV code 79600000), took place in the South East region of the United Kingdom. The procurement method was selective, specifically a call-off from a framework agreement. The tender process was completed, and the award stage was active as of 4th May 2026. The contract period is scheduled from 11th May 2026 to 11th November 2026.

This tender presents growth opportunities for businesses specialising in recruitment services, particularly those with capacity and experience in providing high-level temporary staffing solutions. However, it is not targeted at SMEs or voluntary, community, and social enterprises, suggesting that larger recruitment firms, such as HAYS PLC, the winning supplier, are better suited to fulfil the contract requirements effectively.
