Councillor Mark Edwards and Pertemps senior contracts manager Emma Campbell
Swindon Borough Council has extended its contract for temporary staff with Pertemps Recruitment Partnership for a further two years
Pertemps was awarded Master Vendor status by the council in 2006 after a tender exercise for an employment agency that could provide a single point of contact and resource for the council's high-volume, diverse and flexible labour requirement.
Councillor Mark Edwards, cabinet member for finance, said: “Following a rigorous tender exercise Pertemps was awarded due to its proven ability to deliver a one stop shop approach to all of our temporary staff requirements.
"We are delighted to continue our contract arrangement for a further two years due to their willingness to accept both operational and financial constraints within the public sector, while continuing to offer quality recruitment services combined with real added value.”
Pertemps Swindon director Anne Wilkes said: "Our joint relationship has gone from strength to strength and we look forward to delivering continued high levels of service, combining a cost effective total recruitment solution to Swindon Borough Council.”
Pertemps celebrates its 50th anniversary this year.
