Bazalgette Tunnel Ltd, the organisation responsible for delivering the £4.2 billion Thames Tideway Tunnel, has gone out to tender with a contract for resourcing and recruitment services worth an estimated £6.5 million.
Trading as Tideway, the company is looking to set up a framework agreement for the provision of resourcing and recruitment services.
The agreement will comprise 2 Lots with 3 suppliers in each Lot.
Lot 1 will provide Tideway with interim and permanent Information Systems (IS) Specialists and Lot 2 will provide Tideway with interim and permanent non IS categories of staff.
The aim of Lot 1 is to support the Information Systems department at Tideway in delivering and maintaining the information technology needs of the project which need either interim contractor resourcing or permanent recruitment requirements. Resource needs to be available in a flexible and reliable manner to meet the requirements of the project.
Lot 2 covers a range of areas in the business, including finance, property, procurement and communications. The Lot includes the provision of ad-hoc recruitment services, such as response handling, CV sifting, amongst others. The services will support Tideway's HR team on individual recruitment campaigns and where additional resource is required.
Tideway’s intention is that all suppliers will sit within each Lot at the same level - there will be no tiered structure.
The framework agreement contract could run for up to six years in total. Tideway will accept expressions of interest and tenders from both single entities and consortia.
