## Summary

The procurement process, led by the University of Plymouth, focused on the provision of professional services specifically aimed at the appointment of personnel for a three-month period. The procurement was categorised under recruitment services and covered a wide geographical area, including multiple regions across the UK. The process, concluded as of 2nd October 2025, was conducted through a direct procurement method classified as below threshold without competition, culminating in an active award to STRATEGIC PEOPLE LTD. The value of the contract stood at £33,000, running from 26th August to 28th November 2025.

This tender provides opportunities for businesses specialising in recruitment services, especially those familiar with fast-paced, short-term recruitment processes. With a procurement method involving direct engagement without competition, it would particularly benefit SMEs capable of swiftly delivering tailored professional services. The expansive delivery coverage across numerous UK regions indicates potential for repeated engagement or similar future contracts with public authorities, such as universities and sub-central government bodies. STRATEGIC PEOPLE LTD's involvement underscores the opportunity for similarly scaled businesses to compete in this sector.
