02/ The brief

What the notice says

Not fully read: this is the notice text; attached documents are not read.

To support delivery of our resourcing strategies we now need to secure a partner to deliver our vision of temporary worker support services, reflecting ECC's ambition to continue to minimise the use of third-party recruitment agency suppliers and to adopt a talent pool first approach. We are looking for a supplier who can enable our vision that ECC will source it's own temporary talent directly or via our own supply chain and that our chosen partner will provide the technology and service to deliver the engagement of this temporary workforce both contractually and for all timesheet and billing purposes.

We are looking to partner with a temporary worker support service provider who can own the contractual engagement of our temporary workforce, weekly payroll, timesheet, and billing of all temporary workers that will be sourced by the ECC inhouse recruitment team both directly and via our own supply chain of third-party agencies. ECC will attract workers across all worker categories and types either directly or via our own supply chain of third-party agencies. Recruitment and attraction of new temporary staff is out of scope of this procurement and will be managed by ECC. We expect our partner would own the contractual engagement of our directly sourced temporary workforce as well as the other services described, we expect for agency hires that the agency provider (via the ECC DPS) will manage the contractual engagement with our partner responsible for the timesheet, payment and billing to agency suppliers via their provided technology.

The supplier will need to provide an adaptive, legally compliant service and exemplary technology platform to ECC which enables the service provider to contractually engage our temporary workers, contracting such workers to deliver services in the following ways:

• PAYE hourly rate contract for candidates directly sourced by ECC

• PAYE daily rate contract for candidates directly sourced by ECC

• Ltd Company hourly rate contract for services directly sourced by ECC

• Ltd Company daily rate contract for services directly sourced by ECC

• Statement of work arrangements whereby temporary services are only paid upon deliverable milestones not time worked, both PAYE and Ltd Company directly sourced by ECC.

• Pay per assessment arrangements whereby temporary services are only paid upon deliverable assessments not time worked, both PAYE and Ltd Company directly sourced by ECC.

• Umbrella arrangements via compliant umbrella companies.

• Able to adapt and deliver to emerging working arrangement in the talent marketplace

The service must also allow ECC to place temporary workers found via third party agencies on to the timesheet and billing technology platform which must be fully integrated with the Councils existing P2P solution.
