Lot Information

Lot 1

The supply of temporary human resources via a managed service. The managed service is a neutral vendor meaning they do not supply the resource directly but use the wider market.

Options: The initial term of the contract is for 3 years with a discretional extension period of 12 months.

Procurement Information

The ESPO Framework was procured in early 2024 and was utilised by Staffordshire County Council to appoint a supplier for a managed service for agency staff and interim human resource. The call-off contract was procured solely on price and needs analysis for the council. This negated the need for a tendering exercise. Also, as it was called off a framework, it negated the need for a notice under PCR2015.
