    Brief

    CPC offers a compliant Framework for procuring temporary and permanent staffing solutions across education and the wider public sector. This Framework addresses key recruitment challenges including candidate availability, geographical limitations, retention issues, budget constraints, and subject-specific shortages (such as STEM and SEND roles). Key benefits for members include: access to pre-vetted suppliers with relevant qualifications and experience; competitive capped rates for agency margins ensuring value for money; full compliance with the Procurement Act 2023 with free guidance on regulations and notice requirements; free transition from temporary to permanent contracts after 12 weeks in post (with 4-week notice); flexible purchasing options tailored to various staffing needs; and suppliers with clearly defined regional coverage areas to ensure staff availability and reduce recruitment timeframes. Suppliers should note that this Framework is designed to simplify the procurement process for education and public sector institutions while maintaining compliance and adherence to Department for Education guidance. The collective purchasing power of CPC Members enables significant cost savings that individual institutions could not achieve independently.
