Greater Manchester Contractor Recruitment Services Framework (GMCRSF)

TfGM is aiming to establish a corporate Greater Manchester Contractor Recruitment Services Framework (GMCRSF) and is seeking to partner with recruitment agencies. The aim is to streamline the procurement of agency services at TfGM, addressing existing inefficiencies and inconsistencies. This initiative seeks to enhance operational efficiencies, improve the quality-of-service delivery, and ensure compliance with Procurement Act 2023. Currently, TfGM uses a Preferred Supplier List (PSL) of recruitment agencies to provide both permanent and contract personnel, covering positions from entry-level to management, across multiple departments such as IT, Project Management, Bus Services and Transport. The agencies on the PSL specialise in one or more professional areas. The Greater Manchester Contractor Recruitment Services Framework will be TfGM's preferred method for procuring contractor services. The proposed framework will encompass all contractor recruitment-related services required by TfGM over a four-year period and will be available for use across the entire organisation including GMCA, Greater Manchester councils, Fire service, and Greater Manchester Police. The framework will consist of 5 Lots and each Lot will cover a particular specialism.
