## Summary

Southampton City Council is planning a procurement process for Temporary Agency Resources, specifically under the Comensura framework. The procurement, set to begin on 1st June 2025, falls under the category of recruitment services and is intended to last until 31st March 2026, with potential extensions up to March 2027. The tender process, in a planned state, is classified as a selective procurement method, indicating a non-competitive framework agreement for sub-central government public authority. The project, located in the UK region UKJ3, has a planned budget of £20 million with a gross value of £24 million, and is described as above-threshold for its main procurement category of services.

This procurement opportunity presents significant business growth potential for companies specialising in recruitment services, particularly those with capabilities in providing consultants and specialists under payment-by-results frameworks. The tender is suitable for SMEs as highlighted within the framework, offering a structured environment to engage with a major public authority. Businesses with expertise in managing large-scale projects via selective procurement methods and operating within frameworks have a substantial opportunity to secure long-term, strategically significant contracts with the Council, thereby enhancing their public sector portfolio.
