Summary of the contracting process

Derby City Council has completed the award stage of a contract titled "TD2194- Extension to Managed Services for Temporary Agency Resources." This procurement, under the industry category of supply services of personnel including temporary staff, is aimed at ensuring the continued provision of temporary agency resources through March 2025, with options to extend until May 2025. The contract, valued at £2,200,000, was awarded to Matrix SCM Ltd and will cover comprehensive reporting, pre-employment checks, and the management of transactional processes through a web-based application.

It is well-suited to businesses that can provide seamless integration with web-based and telephonic ordering systems, as well as those equipped to handle extensive pre-employment and retrospective employment checks.

Procurement Information

There are allowances under the regulations to award a contract to a single supplier in cases where competition is absent for technical reasons . regulation 32. 2. . b. ii. ; or for. reasons connected with the protection of exclusive rights, including intellectual. property rights . regulation 32. 2. b. iii. The council have been exploring various models and procurement routes for the next process and have conducted some market engagement. This process has taken a bit longer than expected and therefore the Council needs to extend the current contract to ensure there is sufficient provision available whilst the procurement takes place and also to cover a possible implementation period. All current terms and conditions of the contract would remain unchanged meaning a seamless continuation of service to the Council.
