Staffing Solutions Framework
Introduction
The Staffing Solutions Framework, managed by Pagabo, is a structured procurement tool designed to facilitate the hiring of both temporary and permanent workers across various sectors. Running until 30th June 2027, this framework offers a compliant and streamlined process for organisations seeking to meet their recruitment needs efficiently. It is not a Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) but a traditional framework agreement, allowing for the selection of preferred suppliers who can provide a variety of staffing solutions.
Context & Use Case
In today's dynamic job market, public sector bodies and other organisations often face challenges in sourcing the right talent quickly and effectively. The Staffing Solutions Framework addresses these challenges by providing a reliable route for hiring across different job types. Whether the requirement is for temporary staff to cover short-term needs or permanent positions that demand more thorough recruitment processes, this framework caters to a wide range of staffing needs. Contracting authorities use this framework to ensure compliance with procurement regulations while also benefiting from the expertise of experienced recruitment agencies.
Scope of Services
The framework encompasses a broad spectrum of recruitment services. Typical services covered include: 1. Provision of temporary staff for various roles, including administrative, technical, and specialist positions. 2. Recruitment of permanent employees across diverse sectors and job functions. 3. Access to a Master Vendor arrangement, where a primary supplier manages a network of agencies to fulfil recruitment needs. 4. Direct sourcing of candidates from a provider’s own pool, tailored to specific job requirements. 5. Provision of a software solution for efficient staff booking and management, enhancing operational efficiency.
Who Can Apply
The framework is open to recruitment agencies and staffing providers who can demonstrate the capability to supply temporary and permanent workers across different sectors. Agencies interested in joining must be able to offer innovative staffing solutions and possess a robust network of candidates or partner agencies. While this framework does not operate as a DPS, meaning there are no opportunities to join during its term, interested suppliers should ensure they meet the framework's criteria and maintain compliance with industry standards.
Buyer Benefits
Public sector buyers gain several advantages from using the Staffing Solutions Framework. Firstly, it ensures compliance with procurement regulations, providing peace of mind and legal assurance. Secondly, the framework offers speed to market, allowing organisations to fill vacancies quickly with the right talent. Additionally, by working with a Master Vendor or through direct sourcing, buyers benefit from competitive pricing and reduced administrative burdens, ensuring an efficient recruitment process tailored to their specific needs.
