The brief

Tracing its roots back to 1902, as an education stores department for Kent County Council, Commercial Services has subsequently grown organically to supply an ever-increasing range of best value goods and services to other publicly funded organisations.

These include local government, education establishments, the care sector and the emergency services.

As a member of the REC, C2K operate to the highest standards of best practice in recruitment.

In accordance with best procurement practice, EU and UK Procurement Directives and Regulations, C2K wishes to create a Framework Agreement (the Agreement) for temporary worker agencies for preferred supplier listing status.
