Temporary and Permanent Staffing
Introduction
The Temporary and Permanent Staffing Framework, managed by Crescent Purchasing, is an established procurement route designed to facilitate the recruitment of both temporary and permanent personnel. It is a structured framework agreement that is part of the broader recruitment category, intended to streamline the process for organisations seeking to hire through recruitment agencies. This framework is scheduled to conclude on 17 July 2024 and is not structured as a Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS). It provides an efficient pathway for organisations to access a wide range of recruitment services, ensuring they can meet their staffing needs with greater ease and efficiency.
Context & Use Case
This framework is utilised by businesses and public sector organisations that require a structured approach to recruitment. It addresses a spectrum of hiring needs, including the acquisition of temporary workers for short-term projects, the recruitment of permanent staff for long-term roles, and the sourcing of one-off candidates for specific positions. The framework plays an essential role in helping organisations efficiently add recruitment agencies to their preferred supplier lists, thereby enhancing their capacity to access high-quality candidates. The use of this framework is particularly beneficial for organisations that require a reliable and compliant method to source personnel across various sectors.
Scope of Services
The Temporary and Permanent Staffing Framework encompasses a variety of recruitment services. These typically include, but are not limited to: 1. Provision of temporary workers for interim roles and projects. 2. Recruitment of permanent staff for ongoing positions. 3. Facilitation of one-off hires for specific requirements. 4. Assistance in creating and managing preferred supplier lists for recruitment agencies. 5. Support in aligning recruitment strategies with organisational needs.
Who Can Apply
The framework is open to recruitment agencies and service providers that specialise in temporary and permanent staffing solutions. These suppliers should have the capability to cater to diverse recruitment needs, ranging from short-term placements to long-term staffing solutions. As this framework is not a DPS, applications are typically limited to specific periods, and interested suppliers should ensure they meet the necessary criteria when applying.

Public sector buyers and organisations using the Temporary and Permanent Staffing Framework benefit from a streamlined procurement process that facilitates swift and compliant access to recruitment services. The framework supports efficient competition among suppliers, ensuring that organisations have access to a broad range of potential candidates. Moreover, the framework aids in reducing the time to market for hiring processes, enabling organisations to meet their recruitment needs promptly and effectively. Compliance with procurement regulations is also enhanced, providing buyers with confidence in their recruitment activities.
