About

The Royal Borough of Kingston upon Thames awarded a contract to Matrix SCM for the supply of temporary staff to fill vacancies in the delivery of Council functions.

The appointment was made through a call-off from the London-wide collaboration led by LB Newham and Havering, following a mini competition under the Eastern Shires Purchasing Organisation (ESPO) Managed Service for Temporary Agency Resource 3 (MSTAR3) Framework Agreement launched in December 2019.

The contract, valued at AUD 60,000,000, covers The Royal Borough of Kingston Upon Thames on behalf of itself and The London Borough of Sutton, with the provider expected to bring greater flexibility through emerging technology such as talent pools, deliver cost savings and efficiencies, and enhance social value through increased employability and connections with local charities and social enterprises.
