The buying organisation Hillcrest has completed the procurement process for a Recruitment Agency Framework Agreement, targeting the housing and community amenities sector. This framework agreement covers the provision of temporary and permanent staff across several geographical areas including Dundee, Angus, Fife, Perth and Kinross, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Aberdeen, Aberdeenshire, and the Lothians. The procurement method used was an open procedure, and the procurement stage is now at the contract award phase, with the final contracts signed on 27 March 2025. Key suppliers include Reed Specialist Recruitment Limited, Community Resourcing Limited, ASA International Ltd (trading as ASA Recruitment), Search Consultancy Ltd, and Venesky Brown Recruitment Ltd.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for business growth, particularly for recruitment agencies specialising in corporate and administrative services, housing roles, trades roles, and care services. Large-scale and SME recruitment agencies that can deliver high-quality temporary and permanent staff across multiple locations are well-suited to benefit from this framework agreement. The open procedure and the framework agreement structure allow multiple suppliers to be involved, fostering competitive entry and collaboration in delivering staffing solutions. Business growth opportunities are thus significant for those agencies that can meet Hillcrest's quality and service standards efficiently.
