About

The Council is seeking suppliers for specialist recruitment support to permanently appoint management-level staff for its Children's Homes in the community and for Aycliffe Secure Centre (Secure Children's Home). Multiple providers may be appointed to an open agreement; any provider that meets the required standards in the Selection Questionnaire can be awarded a contract, but the Council gives no guarantee of work, volume or exclusivity. Submitting a response constitutes acceptance of the contract terms, and when a service is required the Council will approach a provider to confirm they can deliver within the required timescales. The Selection Questionnaire Pricing Schedule (section 9) sets capped maximum payment rates and further service requirements are detailed in Document 3A Specification.
