## About this tender

Lancashire Renewables Limited (formally Global Renewables) was established in 2010 and operates two flagship waste treatment facilities in Leyland and Thornton; handling household and residual waste (circa 400,000 tonnes p.a.). LRL currently employs circa 180 people. The headcount will increase up to a total of 272 people as the company prepares to undertake additional processing activity in 2025.

To support LRL's operation and commencing from April 2024, LRL wishes to have a contract in place with a recruitment agency to provide and support the ongoing requirement for agency workers. LRL currently spends approximately Â£400-450k per annum on agency staff (based on company payroll information). Currently, LRL typically has 10-15 agency employees on the ground.

As part of the soft market testing exercise, we are hoping to review and clarify certain criteria that will help us to create a final tender specification. Typical criteria may include, but not be restricted to, the following topics:

â&#128;¢ Presenting the industrial nature of LRL's sites and clarity of the working environment

â&#128;¢ Whether the recruitment agency can provide a physical presence at LRL's sites to support the service, any agency staff on the ground, and moreover a close relationship between the agency and LRL

â&#128;¢ Typical roles and responsibilities of both the agency and LRL under a contract

â&#128;¢ Creation of a pool of staff assigned to LRL covering multiple roles

â&#128;¢ Ability to service each of LRL's two sites or any envisaged difficulties servicing either location

â&#128;¢ Feasibility and criteria around permanent employment from either an agency worker on the agency's books or a new employee

â&#128;¢ Contract terms (including duration) and performance metrics.

To declare your interest in this project, please read the scoping document and respond to the questionnaire and return your completed questionnaire to James Mynott / Procurement Manager @ LRL /  no later than 1st September 2023. LRL will consider all responses and look to hold engagement sessions with suppliers in September 2023.
