About
Hertfordshire County Council awarded a contract to Florence Staffing Ltd for the provision of contract arrangements for agency staff, specifically social care professionals, to meet organisational demands while complying with safeguarding and legislative requirements.
The services were urgently required and could only be supplied by this economic operator as competition was absent for technical reasons, under Regulation 32(2)(b)(ii) of the Public Contract Regulations 2015.
The contract, valued at £5,100,000, ends in March 2025, aligning with the existing corporate contract, and the services will form part of the specification for a new procurement post-March 2025.
