Decision details

The Mayor recognised that the contract was required but felt that given the

Council’s dire financial circumstances, recruitment policy and dependence on

agency staff should be critically examined after the next annual Council

budget was agreed.

Having considered a confidential officer report, and a presentation by the

Cabinet Member for Resources, Councillor Kevin Bonavia, Mayor and Cabinet

(Contracts), for the reasons set out in the report,

RESOLVED that a contract be awarded to Reed Specialist for the

provision of a Managed Service Provider for the supply of temporary agency

workers to the Council, for a period of 2 years, with possible extensions of up

to 2 years, subject to agreement by both parties and satisfactory performance

by the contractor.
