This tender aims to create a framework for recruitment agencies to support the Human Resources Department of Coleg Gwent, located in Usk, United Kingdom. The procurement covers services in the business sector, specifically recruitment services, with a focus on establishing a pool of recruitment agencies that can meet the college's diverse hiring needs. The framework plans to appoint three ranked agencies initially, with an additional pool of up to seven agencies, under an open procedure. The total value of the contract is estimated at £3,360,000 over an initial two-year period, with an optional renewal for a further two years. Key dates include the deadline for submissions on 3rd July 2026, the award notification by 27th July 2026, and the contract period from 20th August 2026 to 19th August 2028. This tender offers substantial business growth opportunities for recruitment agencies, particularly those catering to the higher education sector or specialising in comprehensive recruitment solutions. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) are also encouraged to participate. By securing a place in this framework, agencies will have access to a significant client in Coleg Gwent, expanding their portfolio and establishing long-term relationships within the public sector. Agencies equipped to deliver high-quality recruitment services and capable of participating in a competitive open procedure would be well-suited to compete for this contract, providing them with a platform for increased visibility and potential future contract opportunities within the framework's duration. ## Notice This tender is to create a framework of recruitment agencies for Coleg Gwent's Human Resources Dept.
