Overview
The Consortium sought bids from service providers to participate in an agency labour and recruitment services framework covering a full range of roles required by consortium members across England, Scotland and Wales. Services include: - Temporary staff placements - Staff on a temporary to fixed term basis - Staff on a temporary to permanent basis - Recruitment of permanent staff positions - Interim placements - Managed service provision (MSP) - Recruitment process outsourcing (RPO) The framework is split into 5 lots.
The 4 year framework commenced during January 2023. Please note: the scope of services available and duration of the framework has remained the same.
The Cirrus Consortium have decided to modify the estimated value of the framework from £100,000,000 to £150,000,000 in accordance with Regulation 72(1)(c) of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015. This modification is necessary due to the unexpected number and size of call-off contracts completed through the framework, which could not have been reasonably foreseen at the time of award. The change does not alter the overall nature of the framework and remains within the 50% increase limit permitted by the regulations.
