Public Sector Resourcing
Introduction
The Public Sector Resourcing framework, managed by Crown Commercial, is a key procurement route designed to streamline the recruitment of contractors and temporary workers for public sector organisations across the UK. This framework is not a Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) and is set to run until 15 June 2025. Its primary goal is to provide an efficient and compliant way for public sector bodies to access a diverse range of recruitment services, ensuring that they can quickly and effectively meet their staffing needs.
Context & Use Case
Recruitment within the public sector can be a complex and time-sensitive process, requiring a framework that offers both flexibility and comprehensive coverage. The Public Sector Resourcing framework addresses this need by organising collaboration through Alexander Mann Solutions and over 300 specialist recruitment agencies. These agencies are categorised based on expertise in distinct job categories, allowing public sector organisations to source contractors and temporary workers with specific skills and experience. The framework is part of the broader Recruitment category and is directly linked to the Public Sector Resourcing initiative, ensuring a cohesive approach to staffing across various governmental departments.
Scope of Services
The services provided under this framework include, but are not limited to, the following: 1. Recruitment of temporary workers across a wide range of job categories and sectors. 2. Provision of specialist contractors for short-term and project-based assignments. 3. Access to a network of over 300 recruitment agencies, ensuring a broad talent pool. 4. Expertise in matching candidates to specific roles based on job category specialisation. 5. Efficient onboarding processes to streamline the integration of temporary staff.
Who Can Apply
This framework is open to recruitment agencies and service providers with expertise in supplying temporary workers and contractors across various sectors. While the framework itself is not a DPS, meaning it does not allow for open application throughout its lifetime, it is crucial for suppliers to be part of the pre-established network managed by Alexander Mann Solutions. Agencies that specialise in niche job categories or have a proven track record in public sector recruitment may find this framework particularly suitable.
Buyer Benefits
Public sector buyers benefit from using the Public Sector Resourcing framework in several ways. It offers a compliant route to market, ensuring that all recruitment activities adhere to public sector procurement regulations. The framework facilitates a swift response to urgent staffing needs, reducing the time and administrative burden typically associated with recruitment processes. Additionally, by leveraging the expertise of a vast network of recruitment agencies, buyers can ensure a competitive process that helps secure the best talent available.
