## Summary

The National Nuclear Laboratory is currently conducting a tender for a Recruitment Services Framework valued at £1,000,000, aimed at establishing a multi-lot agreement for recruiting fixed-term and permanent staff. The tender falls under the "services" category, specifically classified as recruitment services, and will take place throughout the UK. The procurement process is currently in the Planning stage, with a submission deadline for interested suppliers on 15 April 2022, and a subsequent supplier day scheduled for 25 February 2022. The tender will follow a selective procurement method, using a two-stage Restricted Procedure involving a Supplier Questionnaire and an Invitation to Tender (ITT).

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses operating in the recruitment and staffing sector, particularly those with a focus on the nuclear industry or related government bodies. Companies with expertise in sourcing for security-cleared roles and an understanding of IR35 regulations will be particularly well-suited to compete. The framework consists of various lots, covering roles in Procurement, Finance, Legal, and more, thereby accommodating a broad range of specialisations and allowing multiple bidders to strengthen their market presence through strategic partnerships.

## Notice

Establishing a recruitment Framework Agreement will equip NNL HR with a compliant procurement route to market, improve on the current process through which NNL recruits fixed term and permanent staff (because it will eliminate the use of one-time vendors / agencies), as all new recruitment needs (for fixed term and Permanent staff) will now have to go through this Framework agreement.
