This was conducted by Dorset & Kent Commercial Services LLP T/A Connect2Dorset, a joint venture between Dorset Unitary Council and Kent Commercial Services Ltd. The procurement focused on recruitment services under CPV code 79600000, aiming to create a dynamic purchasing system for temporary recruitment and interim worker agencies.

Firms offering temporary staffing solutions or interim consultancy could significantly benefit from this procurement due to the managed service approach aimed at supporting both the council and its maintained schools and academies. Despite the unsuccessful award status, similar future opportunities could provide substantial growth potential for recruitment agencies looking to establish relationships with public sector bodies.
