Therefore the Authority has a requirement to put in place a compliant Multi- supplier framework Agreement for the ongoing purchase of job board credits from a range of suitable online job board platforms for staff recruitment. This will enable the recruitment department to have control over where and when adverts are published and on which platforms, in the hope that it will attract high calibre external applicants for Business as usual (BAU) and hard to fill niche roles for both The Scottish Police Authority (SPA) and Police Scotland.
- Recurrence: Approx 1 year before contract end date
