Provision of Agency Workers to the Northern Ireland Housing Executive

The Housing Executive requires Contractor(s) for the provision of Agency Workers to provide cover both for ongoing structural change projects as well as business as usual requirements such as cover for internal secondments, sickness absence, maternity leave or additional workload. Initial thoughts are that a Framework will be established to meet this requirement and will be divided into three (3) Lots: • Lot One - Admin and Customer Contact Roles; • Lot Two - Building Trade and Manual Roles; • Lot Three - Technical and Professional Specialist Roles. The Housing Executive's current Agency Workers Framework Agreement will end on 31 March 2027 and successful suppliers will be expected to be fully transitioned onto the incoming Framework and providing services from 1 April 2027. The Housing Executive therefore seeks to engage with suppliers who can offer recruitment services for one, two or all lots on the Framework. The key objectives of the PME Exercise are to establish market interest from suitably qualified service providers and to obtain feedback in order to make fair, transparent and informed decisions on an appropriate procurement strategy.
