In plain English

Warwickshire County Council is setting up a backup staffing system to find agency workers when their main staffing supplier can't meet their needs. The system covers 18 different types of staffing roles and will run for 4 years. Suppliers need to register on their online system to apply.

What the buyer wants

• Provide temporary agency workers across 18 different staffing categories to cover gaps when the Council's primary staffing contract cannot meet specific requirements • Be available on-call as a second-tier supplier to fill positions as they arise during the 4-year contract period • Be flexible and able to adapt services to changing Council needs, legislative changes, and customer demands

Likely requirements

Our reading of the notice. Always check the tender documents.

Most small independent staffing agencies will struggle to compete because this is a large-scale backup system requiring the capacity to supply workers across 18 different staffing categories simultaneously, and the £50 million estimated value suggests Warwickshire expects suppliers capable of handling significant volume and complexity.

How to bid

This is a Dynamic Purchasing System: an open list of approved suppliers. You can apply to join at any time while it runs, and once accepted you can bid for the individual contracts the buyer runs through it.
