Agency Contract

The current Agency Neutral Vendor contract ends 31 March 2024.

To provide sufficient time to undertake soft market testing to understand how the market has evolved and how RMBC may better benefit from this contract,  It is proposed to complete a direct award procurement process to the incumbent supplier for a 9 month contractual arrangement beyond 31 March 2024.

The direct award would be made via the YPO Managing Temporary and Permanent Recruitment - 942 Framework, under Lot 1. This Framework is set to expire 5th January 2024, with no direct replacement available meaning that the award would need to be completed before this date.
