Public sector recruitment you can trust: new offer from Buying Solutions gives employers peace of mind
A new and improved framework agreement from OGCbuying.solutions is set to provide a trusted, value-for-money, fast and flexible way for public sector organisations to identify and recruit high quality professional people.
The Recruitment Services arrangements, EU-compliant, pre-tendered, one-stop-shop framework agreements, save buyers time, money and worry by providing access to a range of rigorously-evaluated and carefully-chosen suppliers who are experts in their fields.
Developed in consultation with existing customers from across the public sector, the framework has been structured so that requirements can be quickly and efficiently called off, while standard terms and conditions offer users critical contractual safeguards.
The framework agreement, organised by Buying Solutions' Professional Services category, provides services in two areas. The first, Specialists, sources high-quality individuals for niche-area job roles such as IT, Accountancy and Project Management.
The second, Large Volume, handles large-scale recruitment needs on behalf of customers, dealing with diverse job roles from junior to senior levels at various locations around the country.
The suppliers accredited in the framework agreement are:

Suppliers in both Specialist and Large Volume offer the full range of recruitment services, including Attraction, Response, Assessment and Campaign Delivery.
The Professional Services category provides the public sector with access to management consultancy, resourcing, legal and financial services, recruitment, payroll and, coming soon, learning and development.
Buying Solutions is playing a key role in helping public sector organisations to deliver their targets in relation to savings, efficiency and sustainability. Customers retain control of selection of personnel and benefit from an ongoing programme of support and contract management.
The Professional Services team works closely with the supplier community and its trade associations to constantly assess best practice, trends and developments in the sector to ensure that its advice and guidance for customers is up-to-date.
Professional Services Category Director Simon Caddick said today: "Recruitment of the right people remains one of the most testing challenges for all organisations in both public and private sectors.
"These new framework agreements are specifically designed to provide buyers with peace of mind. They can trust and rely on these arrangements, and the carefully-selected, expert suppliers operating within them, to deliver on the big-ticket issues.
"They provide value for money, they are compliant with EU procurement regulations, they deliver fast, efficient and flexible solutions - and ongoing advice and guidance is available throughout the process."
