## Description

The Association of the North East Councils Trading as North East Procurement Organisation \(NEPO\) is seeking to establish a Framework Contract with a sole supplier for the Provision of a Vendor Neutral Managed Service for Temporary Agency Resourcing\. The solution will provide for all types of temporary agency resource and across a number of supply categories on behalf of NEPO Members and NEPO Associate Members\. The successful supplier must be able to source and manage the effective provision of Temporary Agency Resource across all service areas and for all assignments; this will be up to 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year and across all skill sets as required\. Additional information: In accordance with regulation 72 \(1\)\(c\) of PCR2015, NEPO have made the decision to extend the arrangement from the existing end date of 31/10/2023 to 30/4/2025 due to the ambiguous operating environment\. Ongoing consultation and proposed amendments relating to the sourcing and supply of contingent labour for social care present significant uncertainty and risk the viability of a future solution at this time\.
