Published requirement description

Stonewater is seeking to enhance its recruitment capabilities by establishing an updated Preferred Supplier List (PSL) for their permanent staffing needs. As a leading housing association, we require a diverse range of skilled professionals to support our various operational functions, from IT and finance to housing operations and executive roles.

The need for a PSL arises from our goal to streamline the recruitment process, ensure high-quality candidate placements, and maintain compliance with legal and regulatory standards. By partnering with a select group of recruitment suppliers, we aim to achieve efficiency in our hiring processes and align recruitment practices with our strategic objectives. This initiative will enable us to manage recruitment more effectively, ensuring that we have access to top talent that meets our specific requirements across different service categories.

What this means for your bid
  • Price carries 40 of 100 points: a 10% discount moves about 4 points. The method statement decides this lot, not the discount.
  • “Permanent Recruitment Preferred Supplier List (PSL)” is a framework: the contest is a place on its panel, not a single contract.

Price arithmetic assumes straight proportional scoring; the tender pack may use another formula.
