Supply services of personnel including temporary staff

Tender description

Hertfordshire County Council (the “Council”) is carrying out Pre-Procurement Market Engagement (“PPME”) in relation to Temporary Supply of Agency Workers. The Council will consider the feedback received to help inform the Council’s options and further decision making. For the avoidance of doubt, this stage of the project is not part of a formal procurement process and the Council is not committing, at this stage, to carrying out such a process. Participation or non-participation in the PPME shall not prevent any supplier participating in a potential future procurement, nor is it intended that any information supplied as part of the PPME shall place any supplier at an advantage in a potential procurement process. Participation in the PPME will be at each organisation’s own cost. No expense in responding to this PPME will be reimbursed by the Council. The purpose of this pre-procurement market engagement is to consider how the Council will look to put in place future arrangements to maintain the supply of temporary workers that are appropriately skilled (quality) and qualified (experienced) to meet the demands of the organisation at the right time and for a competitive cost, whilst complying with safeguarding and legislative requirements after the existing Contract comes to an end in March 2019.
