## Summary

The Scottish Government is seeking to establish a Framework Agreement for Temporary Administrative, Catering, and Manual Staff Services specifically for the North of Scotland. This procurement, initiated as an open tender, has a total estimated value of £10 million and is set to last for a maximum of 48 months. The tender was finalised on 29 March 2019, with related services needing to commence under the framework. Suitable suppliers must provide appropriately qualified temporary workers who have undergone the necessary disclosure and security processes.

This tender presents significant growth opportunities for businesses, particularly those within the recruitment and staffing services sectors. Companies capable of supplying temporary administrative, catering, and manual staff with varying skill sets will find this contract attractive. Large organisations and small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) alike, particularly those with experience in both general public services and temporary staffing, would be well-suited to compete for this framework. Successful bidders will not only gain access to a steady stream of contracts over the four-year duration but will also have the potential to engage with multiple framework public bodies in the region.
