Description
During 2025 extensive market engagement activities were undertaken with approximately 25+ recruitment agencies. This involved the use of surveys to capture information and decide on the lotting structure. There will no longer be any further market engagement activities and the survey is no longer being issued. The market engagement activities were undertaken in compliance with the Procurement Act (2023) and the use of any information will not allow any firm to be given an unfair advantage. The tender has yet to be published therefore any recruitment type firms can still contact WWU to show an interest.
