Multidisciplinary recruitment Framework for Temporary and Permanent staff

Historic England is wishing to set up a multidisciplinary framework in order to deliver its recruitment needs.

The framework will run for 3 years with a potential 1-year extension, depending on requirement, performance and budget.

The Framework will be broken down in to Lots as per the below:

Lot 1 - Executive or Senior Level appointments - perm/fixed team - no temp Lot 2 - Specialist - Niche or hard to fill skill set - perm/fixed term - may be temp. Lot 3 -Back office short term recruitment (Temp, Temp to Perm or Perm).

As with all frameworks, being awarded a place on it does not guarantee all or any of the work available; but the overarching agreement sets out rates and agreed terms which will operate when a 'call off contract' is placed

Suppliers are invited to bid for one or more lots; however, where bidding for multiple lots, should provide assurance of how they will manage the demand and ensure a constant and reliable supply and support to Historic England.

The maximum value of this lot, stated below, is an estimate based on previous spend, the value of the entire framework including all three lots is the binding maximum value. We anticipate between 2 and 4 suppliers will be appointed to this lot.Specification: Such roles in Historic England would include:EngineerArchitect or SurveyorIT SpecialistDeveloperNiche or specialist recruitment agencies find candidates for highly specialised areas and specific industries such as law, engineering, architecture or Information Technology. Suppliers require strong relationships with companies in the relevant sector, making them valuable to job seekers wanting to gain work in a specific field by providing testimonials of their work/relationships.
