Supply of Temporary and Permanent Personnel Services (Master Vendor)
Authority: Financial Services Compensation Scheme (Public body)
What is being bought2 lots · detail below
Published requirement descriptionIn September 2024, FSCS published a Prior Information Notice in relation to procurement of master vendor contracts under two Lots, (i) Claims handler and (ii) Non-claims handler. The two Lots covering both permanent and contractor roles across the Scheme. Following a Supplier Briefing event, FSCS decided to procure all its requirements for temporary and permanent personnel under a single Master Vendor contract. FSCS already has a specialist recruitment framework for executive and non-executive roles. The new master vendor contract will be in addition to this arrangement and will therefore not include executive and non-executive roles. The services will include supporting a FSCS’s People Team to attract, recruit and retain candidates with the right blend of skills, qualifications, experience, knowledge, and attitude into the right roles and in the right place to deliver on the Scheme’s strategy. The services must include the smooth transition from our existing master vendor arrangement.

Published award criteria (2)
- Quality: 70
- Price: 30
- Price carries 30 of 100 points: a 10% discount moves about 3 points. The method statement decides this lot, not the discount.
Price arithmetic assumes straight proportional scoring; the tender pack may use another formula.

Publisher note: In view of feedback during the process, wider organisational planning, and evolving recruitment requirements since commencement of the tender process, FSCS concluded it needs to review the nature of this service requirement and how it is structured and delivered. Secondly, given the importance of this wider planning in the context of other current operational demands, FSCS needed to allow proper time to carry out that re-evaluation exercise in a fully considered way.
