Framework Agreement for the Provision of Agency Social Workers and Adult Services Support Lots 1 & 2

The City & County of Swansea has completed the procurement process for a framework agreement titled "Framework Agreement for the Provision of Agency Social Workers and Adult Services Support Lots 1 & 2." The procurement, classified under "Recruitment services" (CPV 79600000), aimed to address recruitment needs across Child & Family Services and Adult Services. This includes situations requiring social workers on a temporary basis, due to vacancies or emergency situations such as staff sickness.

Valued at £3,000,000, the procurement has been conducted through an open procedure with active awards beginning from 13 May 2025. The process covered various locations within Swansea and possibly neighbouring regions to adapt to service needs. This procurement provides substantial opportunities for businesses specializing in recruitment services, especially those with expertise in the public sector and social services.

Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are particularly well-positioned to compete, as evidenced by involvement from companies like Diamond Commercial Recruitment LTD and Axis Recruitment Ltd. Suppliers engaging in this framework will have the chance to establish connections with Swansea Council and potentially participate in future extensions of the contract, which may last up to 36 additional months. This opportunity suits businesses looking to expand their portfolio in public sector collaborations and those capable of providing timely and qualified staffing solutions.
