Tue, 27 Aug 2013The Non Permanent Staff framework (RM692) operated by the Government Procurement Service (GPS) has been extended, with suppliers agreeing to a reduction in their mark-ups of 0.5 percentage points.
The framework is being extended until 22 May 2014 to “ensure a smooth, phased transition for central government departments to the new Contingent LabourONE [RM860] framework”. This new framework was awarded on 5 June and should go live in late September.
Effective since last Friday (23 August) is the 0.5% mark-up reduction, which will be applied to all new placements agreed on the framework through to its conclusion.
GPS says the “average supplier maximum mark-up” is currently 11.59%, although six of the 21 suppliers have it below 10%, a substantial reduction on previous equivalent frameworks.
One of the 21 firms on RM692, Hays Specialist Recruitment, has withdrawn from the framework, although it is one of three service providers forming supply chains for the Contingent LabourONE framework.
The Non Permanent Staff framework, initially launched in August 2010, which was designed to be valid for four years and had an estimated value of £2.5bn, replaced two previous frameworks for interim managers and specialist contractors.
