The Council will appoint up to three preferred suppliers at the lowest cost to Council who will be required to provide a suitable agency worker within 3 working days of the requirement having been notified to the agency. The highest scoring or lowest cost supplier will be approached first if the appointed agency fails to meet the standard, the requirement will pass to the next supplier on the preferred list.

The contract will be reviewed after 12 months. The commencement date will be no later than late 2019/early 2020. This figure was significantly higher than the previous 3 years due to major restructuring within leisure services. It is anticipated that there will be a significant reduction in this current year.
