Description

Crown Commercial Service (CCS) is developing a new long-term contracting solution for the provision of temporary workers to replace the current framework, RM3749 Public Sector Resourcing. The aim of this framework is to build a market leading commercial model to connect workers with public sector demand, enabling contracting authorities to engage the right resources, with the right skills, at the right price, through a range of delivery models. This will include sourcing temporary workers, engaging pre-identified nominated workers, delivering work through statements of work (SoW), and engaging workers via a Recruit-Train-Deploy (RTD) model. The framework may also include recruitment of permanent and fixed term staff, and/or workforce strategy advice. The lotting structure and commercial model for this framework will be determined as a result of the market and customer engagement. Further information is included in the Additional Information section VI.3.
