The contract, valued at £132,000, was awarded as of 30th June 2025, with the contract period commencing on 1st July 2025 and set to end on 30th June 2026. The procurement was conducted using a selective method, specifically as a call-off from a framework agreement under the ESPO Strategic HR Services framework. This procurement stage is in the award phase, with services to be delivered primarily in the Yorkshire and the Humber region.

This tender offers significant opportunities for growth, especially for businesses involved in supplying temporary staff and recruitment services.
