Essex County Council sets up DPS for temp and perm staffing.
Essex County Council (ECC) is establishing a direct supply chain for temporary and permanent hires through a Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS). Approved agency suppliers must use Matrix (SCM) for time and billing, while permanent hires are invoiced directly by ECC. All roles will be published via Recruit for mini-competitions. The procurement covers staffing services for the council, with no specific qualifications or set-asides mentioned. The contract value is not disclosed.
