Description

The Framework Contract for a Vendor Neutral Managed Service for Temporary Agency Workers to be made available for use by all Contracting Authorities throughout all administrative regions of the UK (as defined by the Public Contracts Regulations 2015) including but not limited to Government Departments and their Agencies, Non-Departmental Public Bodies, Central Government, NHS Bodies, Local Authorities, Emergency Services, Coastguard Emergency Services, Educational Establishments, Registered Social Landlords and Registered Charities who have a need for temporary worker resourcing. The Framework Contract will operate as a sole supplier, which will be accessed via Direct Award only. Associate Members may choose to accept the solution pricing based on that provided by the Tenderer for Member Authorities, or alternatively they may provide data specific to their own situation for which the Managed Service Provider will supply them with a tailored price. This price can improve upon, but should not exceed that agreed for Member Authorities at contract award. In accordance with the Framework Agreement, each Contracting Authority will enter into a Call-Off contract. The Call-Off contract will be based on the terms and conditions of the Framework Agreement, between a Contracting Authority and the Supplier. Call-off Contracts must be signed and returned to NEPO before the Framework Contract commencement date.

Legal Justification

In accordance with regulation 72 (3)(c) of PCR2025, NEPO have made the decision to extend the arrangement from the existing end date of 31/10/2023 to 30/4/2025 due to the ambiguous operating environment. Ongoing consultation and proposed amendments relating to the sourcing and supply of contingent labour for social care present significant uncertainty and risk the viability of a future solution at this time.
