  "description": "In view of feedback during the process, wider organisational planning, and evolving recruitment requirements since commencement of the tender process, FSCS concluded it needs to review the nature of this service requirement and how it is structured and delivered. Secondly, given the importance of this wider planning in the context of other current operational demands, FSCS needed to allow proper time to carry out that re-evaluation exercise in a fully considered way.\nTo view this notice, please click here: \nhttps://www.delta-esourcing.com/delta/viewNotice.html?noticeId=973732188 GO Reference: GO-2025815-PRO-31872402",

The services must include the smooth transition from our existing master vendor arrangement.\nWe currently have a Master Vendor in place to support all our recruitment needs, temporary agency worker, contractor, fixed term and permanent, except for Executive and NED recruitment. Our current Master Vendor contract is coming to the end of its life and therefore we are seeking a new Master Vendor initially for a two-year contract with the option to extend for up to a further two years in two twelve-month extensions.\nWe aim to build and maintain the trust of everyone we work with through rigorously independent decisions, efficient operations, resilience in tackling financial failures and always putting our customers first. Our claim handlers are our customer facing roles and as such we rely on their professionalism, skills, and expertise to handle the process with the customers and to arrive at the right outcome in every case.\nWe recognise that to achieve the levels of service and trust we strive for we must recruit the right contractors and permanent staff.\nThe Service Provider will handle all our recruitment requirements within the scope defined in this Statement of Requirements for temporary agency workers, contractors, fixed term, and permanent staff, i.e., all roles except for Executive and NED roles. They will be required to source talent with the essential technical skills and expertise required as well as the attitudinal attributes and qualities that are consistent with those of FSCS.",
