Decision status: For Determination

Is Key decision?: Yes

Is subject to call in?: Yes

Purpose:

The Council currently has a contract with Adecco for the management and supply of temporary agency staffing across all council departments. The contract term is due to expire in November 2025 and has an allowed extension for 12 months.

The corporate contract allows for Adecco to source temporary agency staff via other agencies as well as their own, so this contract continues to provide the Council with flexibility and choice within the market.

The contract terms and conditions as well as price are staying the same and this is deemed value for money. The Council are pleased with the overall performance over the life of the contract so far and would like to continue to work with them.

Decision:

Approval of an allowed for extension of 12 months to the temporary agency resource contract currently held by Adecco.

This contract is for the management and supply of temporary agency staffing across all council departments.

Alternative options considered:

The alternative option is to not extend the contract and to re-tender instead. This is not a viable option as it would not provide the Council with best value as the Council already receiving good performance from the current provider.
