## Summary

The Harris Federation, a sub-central government public authority, has initiated a tender process titled "PP-10161a Harris Federation – 1st Re-opening of the PerCo Open Framework." This procurement process is managed under an open procedure, focusing on recruitment services, including both general and specialist staffing needs.

The framework agreement is set to last for around eight years, with a specific call-off process via direct awards and mini-competitions.

This framework offers significant opportunities for businesses specializing in recruitment services, particularly those capable of delivering both temporary and permanent staffing solutions, to engage with an extensive public sector network across the UK.
