## Summary

The London Borough of Hillingdon has completed the procurement of a Managed Services Provider (Neutral Vendor) for Temporary Agency Workers, a contract valued at approximately £6.4 million. This procurement falls under the services category and is governed by the Procurement Act 2023. The contract was directly awarded to MATRIX SCM LIMITED through a direct procurement method, ensuring the continuity of services while transitioning to a new supplier. This specific procurement process was focused on a short-term extension spanning about 15 weeks, intended to maintain uninterrupted operations. The service delivery covers multiple regions across the United Kingdom, with the contract officially signed on 25th December 2025 and set to conclude on 5th April 2026.

For businesses involved in providing recruitment services, this contract represents a significant opportunity particularly for those equipped to manage large-scale service provision across extensive regions. With a focus on maintaining critical service continuity, businesses that specialise in efficient mobilisation and transitioning in service delivery can benefit from similar direct award opportunities. Organisations experienced in working with local authorities, especially in the realm of temporary staffing solutions, are well-positioned to compete for future tenders of this nature. Engaging with the public sector, particularly sub-central government entities like the London Borough of Hillingdon, can open up numerous avenues for business growth and partnership development.

## Notice

Managed Services Provider (Neutral Vendor) for Temporary Agency Workers for a contract period of 15 weeks.

### Procurement Information

The contracting authority has made a direct award under Schedule 5 of the Procurement Act 2023 for a short-term extension of the incumbent services contract. This extension, for approximately 15 weeks, is required to maintain continuity of critical services while a new supplier-appointed through a compliant procurement process completes mobilisation. The additional services do not substantially alter the scope of the original contract and are necessary to avoid service disruption. Running a separate competition for this short period would be disproportionate and risk operational failure. Section 42 (life or death/extreme urgency) is not relied upon; the justification is based on the need for additional services from the existing supplier without substantial change.
