ESPO framework for public sector HR and recruitment services.
ESPO, on behalf of Leicestershire County Council, is establishing a framework for strategic HR and recruitment services for the UK public sector. The framework covers executive and managerial interim and permanent recruitment, multi-role temporary and permanent recruitment, assessment and testing, outplacement, professional coaching, HR business process outsourcing, and recruit-train-deploy models. It is divided into 8 lots with sub-lots, including specialized areas like Blue Light & Emergency Services, IT, Digital, Media & Marketing, and HR BPO. Suppliers must be able to deliver across multiple lots and sub-lots, with no specific certifications or set-asides mentioned. The framework is open to all UK public sector bodies and has a duration of 4 years.
