## Summary

The procurement process conducted by Derby College involves a completed tender for a Recruitment Agency Framework, aimed at providing services within the recruitment sector. This framework encompasses the supply of temporary, temporary to permanent, permanent, and interim personnel across three distinct Lots. Classified under CPV code 79600000 for recruitment services and related business services, the tender has been awarded, with the contract active from 10th August 2025 to 31st July 2027. Derby College Group has set up this framework to enhance its recruitment reach, serving as an employer of choice in various global locations, including the UK and Europe. The procurement method was an open procedure, allowing for broad participation.

This tender offers significant opportunities for recruitment agencies and personnel supply services looking to expand their business reach and foster long-term relationships with educational institutions. Businesses capable of delivering high-quality candidates, ensuring candidate satisfaction, and innovating pricing structures are especially suited to compete in such frameworks. With multiple suppliers like Axis Recruitment Ltd, Blue Arrow Ltd, and others being awarded contracts, there is potential for collaboration and partnership to fulfil the diverse staffing needs across the specified geographies. The focus on quality and efficiency provides an advantageous platform for agencies to showcase their ability to deliver value for money within the temporary staffing industry.

## Notice

The framework has been designed to support the fulfilment of all temporary, temporary to permanent, permanent and interim contract personnel across three Lots. The successful Agencies should represent Derby College Group as an extension of the recruitment team, in doing so it is intended that the overall candidate experience should be positive and seamless to support Derby College Group as an employer of choice. Value for Money will be determined primarily by the quality of provision (as defined by quality of candidates, candidate satisfaction and transition from CV to fulfilment) but also via innovation in pricing structures to support contract efficiencies according to the Lot requirements.
