The procurement process is managed by FSCS, with the contract located in London, United Kingdom, within the recruitment services industry category (CPV code 79600000). The procurement is currently in the tender stage, with key dates including a pre-market engagement event scheduled for the week commencing 7th October 2024, and a deadline for responses to questions posed during the event set for 14th October 2024. The procurement documents are expected to be published at the beginning of November 2024, with the contract commencing in July 2025 and running until the end of June 2029. The procurement is open to small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs). This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in recruitment services to secure a long-term contract with a major public sector entity. The FSCS seeks a master vendor capable of handling varying recruitment needs across all levels except executive and non-executive roles, which are already covered by a specialist framework. Companies with expertise in providing comprehensive recruitment solutions, including support for attracting, recruiting, and retaining candidates with diverse skillsets, will find this opportunity especially beneficial. Furthermore, businesses with experience in managing smooth transitions from existing contracts and those capable of engaging with the FSCS's strategic goals are well-suited to compete for this contract, potentially enhancing their portfolio and business growth. ## Notice Text to be corrected in the original notice: Place of text to be modified: II.1.1)Title Instead of: FSCS467 Supply of Temporary and Permanent Services - Prior Information Notice Read: FSCS467 Supply of Temporary and Permanent Personnel Services - Prior Information Notice Place of text to be modified: II.1.4 Instead of: FSCS are planning a pre-market engagement event w/c 07th September ahead of issuing the contract notice within a few weeks soon after Read: FSCS are planning a pre-market engagement event w/c 07th October ahead of issuing the contract notice within a few weeks soon after Other additional information: Please note the correct date for the pre-market engagement event is w/c 07th October. Further information is available in the original Find a Tender Notice 2024/S 000-030698. FSCS is planning to go to market to procure two master vendor arrangements - one responsible for our Claims Handler roles (both permanent and contractors) and one which would be responsible for the recruitment of all other vacancies (permanent and contractors). FSCS are open to procuring one master vendor who can fully meet the requirements of all vacancies at FSCS, across the broad range of skillsets required and at all levels and pay grades. FSCS already has a specialist recruitment framework for executive and non-executive roles. The new master vendor framework will be in addition to this arrangement and will therefore not include executive and non-executive roles. The services will include supporting a FSCS's People Team to attract, recruit and retain candidates with the right blend of skills, qualifications, experience, knowledge, and attitude into the right roles and in the right place to deliver on the Scheme's strategy. The services must include the smooth transition from our existing master vendor arrangement. It is proposed that procurement documents will be published beginning of November 2024, with a new contract commencement date from July 2025. FSCS are planning a pre-market engagement event w/c 07th September ahead of issuing the contract notice within a few weeks soon after. If you would be interested in attending, please e-mail Jean.Mutudza@fscs.org.uk. During this event we hope to share with the market our current thinking for the new contract in terms of a new, fit for purpose recruitment model for the future. We will cover the scope of services and provide historical context and drivers for the new model. It is an opportunity for the market to challenge FSCS's thinking and for FSCS to gather invaluable insights to shape the final tender documentation. The event will include a Question and Answer section, however attendees can also respond to questions via the portal after the event. The deadline for suppliers who may want to respond to questions posed by FSCS during the event via the portal will be 14th October 2024 @ 12pm. FSCS will share summary outputs of the event with prospective tenderers when the formal procurement documents are publis ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/794780cd-15b5-4545-82f1-45f14072f8aa | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Not specified | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 25 Sep 2024 | | Submission deadline | 6 Oct 2024 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 30 Jun 2025 - 29 Jun 2029 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £56,000,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Active | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | FINANCIAL SERVICES COMPENSATION SCHEME | | Locality | LONDON | | Post town | Central London | | Postcode | EC3A 7QU | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLI London | | ITL 2 | TLI3 Inner London - West | | ITL 3 | TLI35 Westminster and City of London | | Local authority | City of London | | Electoral ward | Portsoken | | Westminster constituency | Cities of London and Westminster | | Delivery location | TLI London | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 79 - Business services: law, marketing, consulting, recruitment, printing and security ### Codes - 79600000 - Recruitment services ## Release History - 25 Sep 2024 at 21:30 - TenderAmendment - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/794780cd-15b5-4545-82f1-45f14072f8aa - 25 Sep 2024 at 16:20 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/794780cd-15b5-4545-82f1-45f14072f8aa ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/794780cd-15b5-4545-82f1-45f14072f8aa 25th September 2024 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.delta-esourcing.com/tenders/UK-UK-London:-Recruitment-services./D7QHA99DMJ Please follow this link to view the notice. ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
