CO0096 Temporary and Permanent Work Supply Chain

<p style="text-align: left;">The purpose of this tender is to install a direct supply chain for temporary and permanent hires, where the contractual arrangement will be held between ECC and the agency supplier. We are looking for suppliers who can enable our vision that ECC will deliver the right talent at the right time.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">We are looking to partner with agency suppliers who can own the contractual engagement of our temporary workforce. Weekly payroll activity such as timesheet, and billing will be managed by our service provider Matrix SCM. The agency supplier will pay their temporary workers directly, upon approved timesheets in the mentioned technology platform. ECC attract workers across all worker categories and types directly in the first instance and then the roles we require support with will be released to our supply chain of third-party agencies.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Suppliers will need to provide an adaptive, legally compliant service and use ECC technology platforms to upload CV&rsquo;s for consideration and our partners technology to manager timesheet, payroll and billing. For temporary hires we require agency contractually engage our temporary workers, contracting such workers to deliver services</p>
<p>ECC also supports partner Essex Public Sector organisations with their temporary recruitment, such as Unitary, Borough and District Councils, subsidiaries, LATVs and LATCs, <a href="https://www.essex.gov.uk/local-councils/county-councils-and-local-councils">County council and local councils: What we do and what we don't - Essex County Council</a>. ECC will manage the recruitment and billing process on behalf of those organisations.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">There is the expectation that agency utilisation may increase.</p>
