Description

YPO are bringing to market a new national framework for the HR & Professional Services category that will cover areas we do not currently offer services in. We identified four key areas that we wish to incorporate into this framework including, HR Advice and Administration Services, Payroll Management, Vetting and Compliance and Below Threshold Recruitment Requirements. YPO are the sole public sector buying organisation for this procurement, we manage an array of frameworks for a variety of services and products. Public sector organisations utilise our frameworks as a compliant route to market to award contracts which meet their requirements. This framework will divided into five lots, reflective of the areas mentioned above and then a lot covering multiple services described. The current proposed structure is as follows (please note this is an indicative structure and dependant on the responses from this market engagement could be subject to change to ensure market needs are met): • Lot 1a – Managed Payroll Services • Lot 1b - Managed Payroll Services for Education • Lot 2 – HR Advice and Administration Services • Lot 3 – Vetting and Compliance Services • Lot 4 – Overarching HR Support Solutions (covering Lots 1-3) • Lot 5a – Below Threshold Recruitment Temporary • Lot 5b – Below Threshold Recruitment Permanent
