Further Competition for a Master Vendor for Temporary Agency Resources (ESPO MSTAR3 Framework Lot 1b)

This contract was awarded via a further competition process through ESPO Framework: 653F_19 Managed Services for Temporary Agency Resources (MSTAR3) (Lot 1b)

This Lot is for Customers who wish to appoint a Managed Service Provider to generate a pool of staff, (a 'first tier' which may include the Customers own pool) from which they fill vacancies, further tiers of Agencies may also be used where necessary operating under the same terms and conditions to fulfil bookings the Managed Service Provider cannot fill directly. For the Customer receiving the Services, this provision is seamless and the Customer contracts only with the Master Vendor and not with the Agencies directly.

In this instance Leicestershire County Council is seeking to appoint a Managed Service Provider to act as a Master vendor to fulfil the Council's temporary agency resource requirements.
