THE CABINET MEMBER FOR PERFORMANCE AND RESOURCES, COUNCILLOR JOY SQUIRES, RECOMMENDS:

Minutes:

The Cabinet considered a proposal for the provision of temporary agency staff services. The Portfolio Holder for Performance and Resources explained that since 2011 the Council had used Matrix SCM Limited, a Managed Service Provider that acted as a conduit between the client requiring agency staff and a wide range of temporary agency companies. Following a full evaluation, Matrix SCM Limited was found to offer best value in terms of quality of service and price and it was proposed  to award a one year contract to with effect from 1st April 2017 with an option to extend the contract for a further year. 

 

Other Cabinet Members expressed support for the proposal, which was in accordance with procurement legislation and would allow the Council to quickly and cost effectively fill human resource gaps. 

 

RESOLVED: That the Cabinet approve the award of a temporary agency staff service contract to Matrix SCM Limited.
