Recruitment Tender Writing

Sectors / Recruitment & Staffing

A recruitment tender needs to show that you can find suitable people quickly and maintain the required checks and service standards. We help agencies and managed service providers explain how their sourcing, compliance and account management processes will work for the specific buyer.

We support submissions for temporary and permanent recruitment, specialist staffing and managed workforce services. A national framework response, a regional staffing contract and an education recruitment bid each need a different account of market coverage and delivery.

How we support your bid

  • Candidate attraction and fulfilment: Describe sourcing channels, talent pools, screening and how you respond to hard-to-fill roles or urgent demand.
  • Checks and candidate care: Explain role-specific verification, onboarding, support and escalation using your actual compliance processes.
  • Account management: Set out responsibilities, order handling, issue resolution, reporting and review meetings.
  • Workforce value: Present retention, diversity, candidate experience and cost transparency through relevant evidence and realistic commitments.

Relevant frameworks and buyers

The Supply Teachers and Education Recruitment framework (RM6376) covers teaching, education support and non-teaching staff. The Clinical and Non Clinical Temporary and Permanent Staff procurement (RM6397) is a relevant NHS Workforce Alliance route to track; its published scope includes healthcare and non-clinical roles.

A published procurement page does not mean applications are currently open. We check the notice, timetable, lot requirements and eligibility before planning an application. If you already hold an appointment, we can help with the written response for an eligible buyer competition.

Building a credible submission

Useful evidence includes fill rates, time-to-hire data, retention, compliance audit results and examples of meeting peaks in demand. We help explain the context behind the numbers, including the role types and regions they cover, so they support the proposed contract.

A practical question

Can we reuse our recruitment framework answers for a call-off?

Some core content will remain useful, but a call-off should address the buyer’s roles, geography, demand and service measures. We adapt approved material and identify the new operational detail needed.
