Type
Sets up a framework (suppliers apply to join)

In plain English

Aspire Housing is building a list of 5 preferred recruitment agencies to call on when they need to hire staff. This is a framework agreement starting January 2027 for 6 years, with no guaranteed work but the chance to bid on jobs as they come up.

What the buyer wants

• Provide recruitment services including candidate sourcing, screening, interviewing and placement support • Be available to respond to call-offs either through direct appointment or by competing in mini-competitions • Demonstrate experience recruiting for housing association and public sector roles

Requirements

What could rule a small business out: This is a framework with no guaranteed work, so most small recruitment agencies will struggle unless they can absorb setup costs with no certainty of return; the 6-year commitment and need to compete on every call-off makes it risky for sole traders.
