description

CPC has created a Framework for the supply of temporary and permanent staffing, across education and also the wider public sector. The purpose of this Framework is to give CPC members a compliant route to market. The collective spending power of Members utilising CPC frameworks is harnessed to drive down costs, which often allows for savings delivery which our membership otherwise would be unable to achieve individually.

Some of the main challenges within institutions in relation to recruitment and retention of staff:

Availability of suitable candidates
Geographical limitations
Competition from the private sector (for non-academic roles)
Retention issues
Government hiring gaps or freezes
High cost of benefits (e.g. pensions)
Limited budgets and uncertainty
Subject-specific shortages (e.g. STEM and SEND)
High staff turnover
Burnout
Compliance to public procurement regulations and law

This framework will look to assist with and alleviate the above issues by:

Providing a set list of suppliers with the appropriate qualifications and experience in the field
Providing extremely competitive capped rates for agency margins to ensure value for money
Providing a compliant route to market under the Procurement Act 2023 and free guidance to CPC Members and Contracting Authorities in applying the regulations (e.g. notice requirements)
Free temp to perm transition after 12 weeks in post (if a 4-week notice is provided) to assist with financial budgets
Providing a wide range of purchasing options and routes to suit a variety of needs
Suppliers clearly specifying the regional coverage areas to ensure availability of staff and reduce timeframes

Given the complexities regarding temporary and permanent staffing requirements, this Framework will simplify the process for Members so that purchasing is as straightforward as possible whilst maintaining compliance and adhering to DfE guidance.
