    Brief

    MSTAR4 is a framework agreement for managed services providing temporary agency resources, established through the London Collaboration agreement and administered by the Eastern Shires Purchasing Organisation (ESPO). This contract is designed to streamline the procurement of temporary staffing solutions for public sector organisations. The initial contract term begins 1 December 2026 for two years, with optional extension periods of two years each, providing up to six years of service. Suppliers selected for this framework can provide temporary workers across various roles and sectors, with established pricing, terms, and conditions. This is a significant opportunity for staffing agencies to secure a long-term, stable supply arrangement with multiple public sector buyers through a single framework agreement.
