Description
CPC has created a Framework for the supply of temporary and permanent staffing, across education and also the wider public sector. The purpose of this Framework is to give CPC members a compliant route to market. The collective spending power of Members utilising CPC frameworks is harnessed to drive down costs, which often allows for savings delivery which our membership otherwise would be unable to achieve individually. Some of the main challenges within institutions in relation to recruitment and retention of staff: • Availability of suitable candidates • Geographical limitations • Competition from the private sector (for non-academic roles) • Retention issues • Government hiring gaps or freezes • High cost of benefits (e.g. pensions) • Limited budgets and uncertainty • Subject-specific shortages (e.g. STEM and SEND) • High staff turnover • Burnout • Compliance to public procurement regulations and law This framework will look to assist with and alleviate the above issues by: • Providing a set list of suppliers with the appropriate qualifications and experience in the field • Providing extremely competitive capped rates for agency margins to ensure value for money • Providing a compliant route to market under the Procurement Act 2023 and free guidance to CPC Members and Contracting Authorities in applying the regulations (e.g. notice requirements) • Free temp to perm transition after 12 weeks in post (if a 4-week notice is provided) to assist with financial budgets • Providing a wide range of purchasing options and routes to suit a variety of needs • Suppliers clearly specifying the regional coverage areas to ensure availability of staff and reduce timeframes Given the complexities regarding temporary and permanent staffing requirements, this Framework will simplify the process for Members so that purchasing is as straightforward as possible whilst maintaining compliance and adhering to DfE guidance.
