What is being bought

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. Approved agency suppliers will be required to use our partner Matrix (SCM) for time and billing. Permanent hires will be invoiced directly by ECC. The supply chain will be created using a dynamic purchasing system, all roles published via Recruit will constitute the mini-competitions

Comparable-procurement analytics

Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 79. The category anchor is Supply services of personnel including temporary staff (79620000); this is a deliberately broad market comparator. The comparison is shown at several levels rather than pretending one company or region is always the best benchmark.

“Reported bids” is an official aggregate, sometimes reported per lot; it is the closest available competition measure. “Named award suppliers” are winners, not all applicants.

Price-outcome signal

Not enough comparable procedures currently publish both a GBP tender value and a usable lowest-valid-bid value to calculate a responsible price-reduction benchmark. Tenderline deliberately does not infer a saving from named award suppliers or from missing award values.
