Decision Maker: Director: Children & Families
Decision status: Recommendations Approved
Is Key decision?: No
Is subject to call in?: No
Purpose:
As part of the Bristol City Council Children
and Families transformation programme – Our Families, we are
developing projects to improve our workforce sufficiency. One of
these projects is to partner with a recruitment agency to recruit
high quality, experienced social workers from overseas.
The Council has contracted with Constellia as a strategic
procurement partner, and via this partner the Council wants to
subcontract to a recruitment agency who specialise in recruiting
social workers from abroad with the intention they will recruit and
relocate 15 social workers during the 18-month life of the
contract.
Decision:
To award the contract to Morgan Hunt via our
procurement strategic partner Constellia.
Alternative options considered:
The Council ran a compliant competitive tender
process – a request for quotes. Alternative providers were
considered as part of this process. The contract was awarded to the
provider who demonstrated they could deliver the highest quality
service at best value for money.
