Temporary Staff Contract
Decision Maker: Cabinet
Decision status: Recommendations Approved (subject to call-in)
Is Key decision?: Yes
Is subject to call in?: No
Purpose:
This report discusses arrangements for temporary staff i.e. agency workers across a number of services.
The current contract for Temporary Staff is coming to an end in April and proposes options for the future procurement of temporary staff arrangements.
Decision:
Cabinet approved Option 3 as described in section 3 of the report which was to competitively procure a temporary staff contract via a framework with an approximate value of £1.3m per annum.
Reasons for the decision:
Without the availability of temporary staff, key functions would be left short of staff.
Alternative options considered:
Short fixed term contracts are hard to recruit to and do not offer flexibility required.
