The City Council has no HR expertise within its employed staff and therefore will rely on its support provider for legal, and technical advice and solutions. The fundamental purpose of the contract is for the contractor to provide an HR service which is described in the specification of the contract. The period of the contract is initially for three years which may be extended for a further two years by the Council. The City Council is expanding its work and it is anticipated that staff numbers will increase during the contract period and potentially include TUPE transfers into the Council. All the Council staff are employed at various locations within the City of Truro. The Council has a single status agreement in place, signed by UNITE and Unison, which was effective from March 2018. The specification is split into three elements. Firstly, initial work where the contractor will review and if necessary recommend changes to our current employment policies and procedures and our current contracts of employment. Secondly, to provide ongoing HR advice particularly relating to employee relations, particularly relating to advising managers and keeping us up to date with legislative changes. Thirdly there is one off advice - for instance we wish to consider implementing a job profiling process to replace our current grading review process. Tenderers should allow as a minimum for a person being present in our offices for one day per week to provide ongoing advice. Tenderers should provide the name of a key contact to both manage the contract and provide the initial point of contact for advice.
