## Summary

The Essex County Council is planning a tender for International Recruitment Services. The roles requiring agency support would focus on hard-to-fill permanent roles, excluding temporary or FTC contracts. The engagement end date for this market engagement is set for 1st December 2023. The Council aims to explore market services for international recruitment options, seeking feedback through a questionnaire in advance of their future requirement.

This tender by Essex County Council presents an opportunity for businesses specializing in recruitment services, particularly those with experience in international recruitment and agency support for compliance and pastoral elements. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) would be well-suited to compete due to the focus on engaging agencies for specific support services. Businesses with expertise in recruitment support from application to arrival processes would find this tender relevant for potential growth opportunities.

## Notice

Good afternoon, Essex County Council is keen to explore opportunities to develop their international recruitment offering. The roles which require agency support would be hard to fill, permanent roles. This would not include temporary or FTC contract. Specifically. 1 - Agency support with application to arrival process i.e., support with interview, compliance, and pastoral support element. 2 - Agency support for international applicants who apply directly to ECC. In this case agency support would be required at compliance stage as well as pastoral support i.e., booking flights, arranging accommodation etc. We would expect this option to be done at a reduced fee. The purpose of this early engagement is for the Council to understand the market and services that could support with the provision of international recruitment. We would welcome your feedback by completing the attached questionnaire. We would be grateful if you could respond by 1st December 2023 Additional information: Please note that this is an early stage market engagement to inform ECC of its options to progress its future requirement. At present we do not have any indicative timescales for putting this out to market.
