## Summary

The University of the West of England procured temporary agency staffing services for its Bower Ashton, Onezone and Glenside sites. The requirement covers the supply of commercial or industrial workers to support the university’s operations, under the relevant TUCO Framework arrangements. The buyer is the University of the West of England, based in Bristol. The opportunity is for a staffing agency or workforce supplier able to provide temporary personnel across multiple university locations and manage fulfilment under a public-sector framework. It may suit businesses specialising in temporary recruitment, agency worker supply, workforce coordination and associated staffing administration. The requirement is categorised as a service and relates specifically to temporary agency staff rather than permanent recruitment, consultancy or general facilities management.

The procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. The University of the West of England used a direct award below the applicable threshold without competition. Berkeley Scott Limited was selected as supplier. The contract was signed on 3 August 2026 and runs from 4 August 2026 to 31 August 2026. Its value is £145,000 excluding VAT, or £174,000 including VAT. The arrangement covers one lot and the awarded service is linked to TUCO Framework lots PFB11074-TU and CAT11056-TU. The contract is active. The published procurement records identify the requirement as temporary agency staff for Bower Ashton, Onezone and Glenside, with service delivery in the United Kingdom.

For a supplier that did not win this award, the procurement demonstrates that the University of the West of England uses framework-based direct awards for temporary agency staffing across several sites. A credible future competitor would need an established temporary workforce supply operation, access to suitable commercial or industrial workers, and the capacity to fulfil staffing requirements across multiple university locations. Experience of public-sector procurement and compliance with TUCO Framework terms would be important, as would reliable recruitment, vetting, onboarding, workforce coordination and replacement arrangements. The selected supplier is a large staffing business, indicating a requirement that can favour providers with sufficient operational scale, candidate reach and account-management capability to support a multi-site university customer.
