This is a pay as you use service so the cost is unknown and will depend on department requirements over the 4 year period.

1.2. Lot 2 – Executive and Interim Search and Selection

To note that should the Council require to undertake Executive and Interim search and selection, we will invite the recommended recruitment companies to bid against each assignment on both quality and price.

That Allen Lane, Gatenby Sanderson, Green Park, Hays, Penna PLC and Solace Enterprises be appointed for Executive & Interim Search and Selection Services for an initial term of 2 years with the option to extend for up to 2 years (2+1+1) from 1^st April 2015 to 31^st March 2019. This is a pay as you use service so the cost is unknown and will depend on department requirements over the 4 year period.

1.3. Lot 3 – Redeployment Portal

That the Council do not recommend joining this Lot at the current time due to the fact that the costs are not known. Gatenby Sanderson is currently building a system to utilise software (Talent Wave Portal) which will provide a London wide redeployment platform. Until we can evaluate if this portal is effective and how many other boroughs may join, we are unable to make a recommendation. The table below shows the costs depending on the number of boroughs joining the framework. Appendix 8 (contained in the exempt report) shows the cost for up to 150 boroughs.
