About

ESPO is seeking a supplier to establish a national framework to appoint a Managed Service Provider (MSP) to manage a supply chain of agencies to fulfil a customer's staffing needs, with services to include Neutral/Master Vendor arrangements, Vendor Management System (VMS), Talent Pool Technology and Statement of Works (Project Delivery). This notice is a Preliminary Market Engagement (PME) and not a call for competition; tender documentation is not yet available, although expressions of interest can be registered now, the RFI response deadline has passed, and the framework is expected to run for 24 months with an option to extend for up to a further 24 months. Expressions of interest only need to be completed once per contact/workgroup and any questions about this PME must be submitted via the Messaging facility on the eProcurement Portal; for portal technical support suppliers are directed to Proactis/ProContract support links.
