Agenda item

The Committee considered a report on the supply and control of temporary staff.

Members were advised that the Council was in the process of re procuring temporary labour services. 

The contract would deliver benefits to the Council which would include:

·  A reduction in contribution to statutory costs of agency workers;

·  The provision of a deeper supply chain;

·  The improvement in service through the provision of an on-site resource from the incoming supplier;

·  Enhanced contract management ability.

The Council was currently undertaking due diligence on the preferred supplier and anticipated formally announcing the new provider by the end of January.  Members agreed that the new provider would be invited to present to the April meeting of the Committee.

Resolved:  That the Report be noted and that the new provider of the Council’s temporary labour services be invited to present to the April meeting of the Committee.
