## Summary

The University of Sussex has completed a public procurement process titled "Managed Service Provider (MSP) Staffing," focusing on recruitment services within the education sector. This procurement, classified under industry category "Recruitment services" with CPV code 79600000, was set in the region UKJ2, Falmer, Brighton. Conducted through a mini competition under the ESPO MSTAR4 Framework (Lot 1b), the tender's primary goal was to find a Managed Service Provider for casual and temporary staffing needs, with options to explore additional recruitment services. The procurement was awarded without prior publication of a call for competition and culminated on 25th July 2025, with the contract valued at £30,000,000 being signed on 1st June 2025.

This contract presents substantial business growth opportunities by enabling suppliers, particularly those specialising in recruitment services, to partner with educational institutions to meet staffing needs. Large enterprises, such as Adecco UK Ltd, which secured the contract, will find themselves well-suited to compete in such tenders, thanks to their capacity to manage significant and diverse staffing requirements.
