## Summary

The Bournemouth Borough Council is seeking to appoint a Managed Service Provider for Agency Staffing through a tender process, identified as DN220458. This procurement focuses on the supply of personnel services, specifically for temporary agency workers, and is located in the South West region of the United Kingdom. The contract has a total value of £16,000,000 and is set to span two years, starting from 4th December 2016, with an option for annual extensions that could extend the duration to four years. The deadline for submitting tenders was 3rd December 2016, marking the conclusion of the tendering stage.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses engaged in the staffing and recruitment sectors, particularly those able to provide temporary agency workers via a supply chain arrangement. Companies that specialise in managing staffing solutions, or those that have capabilities in providing recruitment services, would be well-placed to compete effectively for this contract. The inclusion of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in the process further emphasises the potential for diverse businesses to participate and grow in this space.

## Notice

The Council is appointing a Managed Service Provider to manage a supply chain of agencies. The Managed Service Provider may not itself supply any Temporary Agency workers but instead managed a supply chain to provide Temporary Agency Workers to fulfil bookings. The Managed Service Provider shall be permitted to utilise associated or subsidiary companies as a source of supply of the Services. The Council has appointed Comensura as the Managed Service Provider through the Eastern Shires Purchasing Organisation (ESPO) framework for the Managed Service for Temporary Agency Resources (MSTAR2). Additional information: The length of the contract is for two years with the option to extend the contract annually for a further two years. Therefore, if all extensions were taken, the full length of the contract would be for four years. The start date of the contract is 04/12/2016
