In plain English
The Sheffield College wants to set up a framework agreement, a pre-approved list of recruitment suppliers it can call on, for supplying temporary agency staff and recruitment services. The work covers teaching, business support, estates and technical, and senior or interim roles, and the College will not guarantee any minimum spend.
What the buyer wants
• Supply temporary agency workers and permanent or fixed-term recruitment across the College's lots, including teaching, business support, estates and technical, and senior or interim appointments. • Provide associated recruitment support such as candidate sourcing, advertising, screening and safeguarding checks. • Deliver services from 1 April 2027 for two years, with an option to extend by up to a further 24 months, within a maximum term of four years.
Lots
- Teaching
- Business Support
- Estates, Facilities & Technical Staff
- Senior & Interim Appointments
Requirements
Named in the buyer's notice:
- Safeguarding Trained
What could rule a small business out: The framework is worth about £3.8 million over up to four years across four lots, and it requires a wide range of services including temporary staffing, permanent recruitment and executive search, which will likely favour larger recruitment firms over small businesses.
Always check the tender documents.
How to bid
This is a framework: the buyer picks a set of suppliers now and awards work to them over several years. If you are not on it when it is awarded, you usually cannot win work from it until it is re-tendered, so this is the window to bid.
