## Summary

The Tyne and Wear Fire and Rescue Service, based in Sunderland, England, recently completed an award process for the provision of Temporary Labour/Agency Staff. This procurement process was carried out through a selective method as a call-off from a framework agreement. With a total value of £313,600, the awarded contract commenced on 1st May 2025 and will run until 30th April 2029, with included options to extend up to 48 months. The contract was awarded to Comensura, a large-scale supplier, as outlined under the CPV classification code 79620000 for personnel supply services, encompassing the North East region of the United Kingdom. The award was published on 9th June 2025, marking the procurement stage as complete.

This procurement initiative offers significant opportunities for businesses specialising in providing staffing solutions under managed service agreements, particularly those equipped to operate within framework agreements. While this contract was specifically awarded to a large-scale supplier, it exemplifies potential expansion prospects for large enterprises aiming to establish or grow their footprint within public sector recruitment services. Companies with a robust framework engagement capability and long-term service execution experience would find similar opportunities lucrative and an avenue for sustained business growth.
