## Summary

Nottingham College has recently completed a procurement process for the "Temp and Perm Recruitment" project, aimed at sourcing services in the recruitment sector, specifically coded under CPV 79600000. The procurement was conducted through an open procedure, with the procurement process now at the award and contract stage, following tenders evaluated based on price. The contracts cover various regions in the UK, such as UKC, UKD, UKE, and more, to ensure comprehensive geographic coverage. The process culminated with the contracts being signed on 21st May 2026, demonstrating the college's commitment to enhancing its recruitment services across multiple categories including permanent and temporary curriculums, professional support, and specialist support, each with the potential for three optional 12-month extensions.

This tender process creates a fertile ground for business growth, especially for SMEs specialising in recruitment, as evidenced by awards to firms like Dovetail and Slate Limited and Henry Blue Ltd. Companies equipped to provide recruitment services at scale can leverage this opportunity to align with Nottingham College’s strategic goal of minimising reliance on agency services. The framework's potential engagement for up to nine regions within the UK signifies vast potential market entry points and revenue streams for businesses capable of delivering competitive and financially sustainable recruitment solutions. The emphasis on price as a criterion highlights cost-efficiency and competitive pricing as critical success factors for businesses looking to partner under this framework.
