## Summary

Erewash Borough Council has concluded the procurement process for the provision of temporary agency staff for operational services. This process is categorised under supply services of personnel including temporary staff, with operations taking place primarily in Ilkeston, United Kingdom. The procurement process was initiated through an open procedure, and the contract award was made on 3rd March 2026 with a standstill period ending on 18th March 2026. The successful supplier for this contract is THORN BAKER LIMITED, with the contract scheduled to commence on 1st April 2026 and potential for extension until 31st March 2031. The procurement involved a total of 20 bids, with 15 bids reaching the final stage. The procurement falls under the public authority - sub-central government classification.

This tender provides significant opportunities for businesses specialising in staffing and recruitment, particularly those offering temporary personnel solutions for operational services such as waste collection, green spaces, street scene, and office cleaning. With a gross contract value of £4,939,270, it presents a lucrative opportunity for SMEs capable of establishing a managed service provision with a master vendor setup. Businesses within the region or with suitable logistical capabilities to service the Ilkeston area will be well-suited to compete. Moreover, the open procurement procedure ensures opportunities for a diverse pool of bidders, enhancing growth possibilities for well-prepared organisations adept in fulfilling service demands for fluctuating seasonal requirements or staff absences.

## Notice

The Council delivers a number of operational frontline services using a skilled in-house workforce. However, in order to meet fluctuations in service demand and staff absences due to annual leave, sickness and training the Council regularly needs to supplement its own workforce with suitably skilled temporary workers. This mainly applies to the provision of waste collection and green spaces and street scene services where seasonal fluctuations significantly influence demand however, the provision of office cleaners will also be required under this Contract.
