Decision:

Minutes:
Exempt report of the Corporate Director (Public Protection, Planning and Governance) on the admission of companies to the framework for the award of these contracts.
(1) The Decision Taken
RESOLVED:
That companies be admitted to the framework for the award of agency staff contracts as listed in the exempt report.
(2) Reasons for the Decision
The Council had traditionally used one agency to supply its temporary staff needs. Whilst this produced one point of contact for managers, it was often difficult for this agency to provide hard to source staff such as planners.
This procurement involved a different model - a number of Lots being set up with specialist suppliers to help managers quickly recruit hard to source staff.
The tenders were evaluated 50% on price and 50% on quality.
