What is being bought

Published requirement description

The sourcing of permanent staff is being in-sourced by SWS, and the scope change from the incumbent contract to the new contract reflects this. The scope of the new contract therefore covers:

a) Contractors sourcing through the appointed supplier directly and through its chosen Tier 2 providers, and the payroll services for contractors;

b) On request from SWS for specific roles, the sourcing of permanent staff through the supplier’s chosen PSL providers;

c) Requirements for advertising for the identified roles and any associated campaigns, etc.

What this means for your bid
  • Price carries 30 of 100 points: a 10% discount moves about 3 points. The method statement decides this lot, not the discount.
  • “prj_2574 - Recruitment Tender” 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.
