    Brief

    This is a central recruitment contract opportunity to provide strategic human resources services across the organization. The contract is awarded directly from the ESPO 3S-22 Strategic HR Services Framework and offers suppliers a 12-month initial term with two optional 12-month extensions. The contract provides compliant procurement routes that reduce challenge risk, ensure competitive rates with potential volume rebates, maintain HR compliance standards, accelerate time-to-market for recruitment services, and create back-office efficiencies. The initial 12-month term is valued at £800,000 (excluding VAT), with optional extensions worth £100,000 each, for a total contract value not exceeding £1,000,000 (excluding VAT). This is an excellent opportunity for HR service providers to establish a framework agreement with guaranteed work and potential for contract expansion.
