## Summary

The London Borough of Hounslow procured managed services for temporary agency resources under the MSTAR 4 ESPO framework. The requirement is a managed neutral-vendor service for temporary staffing, providing employers with recruitment supply chains and systems to recruit and manage contingent workers. This is a recruitment and workforce-management service rather than the direct supply of individual temporary workers alone. The service was arranged through the London Collaboration and relates to the MSTAR 4 framework’s Master Vendor lot. Delivery covers Hounslow and a broad range of English regions, including London, the South East, the South West, the Midlands, the East of England, the North West, the North East and Yorkshire and the Humber. The contracting authority is the London Borough of Hounslow, a local authority.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Adecco UK Limited. The contract is active and has a value of £40,000,000. It was signed on 2 August 2026. The authority used a limited award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition, following a further competition through the London Collaboration under the ESPO MSTAR 4 Framework, Lot 2: Master Vendor. The requirement was evaluated on price. One bid was recorded. The process was covered by the Government Procurement Agreement. The tender’s single lot is marked cancelled, while the recorded award remains active. No award cancellation or contract termination is recorded.

This procurement demonstrates substantial public-sector demand for an integrated temporary-worker supply model rather than a conventional, single-agency recruitment arrangement. Suppliers best placed for comparable requirements would be able to operate as a neutral vendor, manage multi-agency recruitment supply chains and provide the systems needed to order, track and administer contingent workers. Credibility would also depend on the capacity to coordinate recruitment activity across a wide geographic footprint and support a large local-authority workforce requirement. Relevant experience in public-sector or similarly regulated workforce services, robust supplier-management processes, dependable technology and the operational scale to manage multiple agencies would strengthen a future competing offer. The price-led evaluation indicates that a cost-efficient operating model would be commercially important alongside service capability.
