London, 07 February 2024 — AMS, the global talent solutions business, has been named as the single supplier on the new Workforce Solutions Framework. The Framework will continue to provide contingent (professional and admin & clerical), Statement of Work management, Recruit Train Deploy management and will now extend to resource augmentation, campaigns, operational workers and permanent recruitment solutions, to a wide range of public sector organisations. This follows the conclusion of a competitive tendering process that began in February 2022 and was run by Crown Commercial Service (CCS), the UK’s largest public procurement organisation and an Executive Agency of the Cabinet Office.

Supported by over 300 specialist recruitment agencies and over 180 service providers, AMS has run CCS’s previous Public Sector Resourcing Framework since 2018. In that time, the Framework has provided contingent workers to the UK Government and wider public sector, offering a direct route to specially curated talent pools, whilst promoting the attraction for administrative and highly skilled workers into the public sector.

Over the next 18 months, the Public Sector Resourcing Framework will be replaced by the new Workforce Solutions Framework with an increased scope and a series of feature enhancements for the benefit of the workers, the suppliers and users of the service. AMS will continue to build on the success of the Public Sector Resourcing Framework, which has been in operation for over five years.  The new Framework will run for up to seven and a half years. It will provide public sector organisations with a wider range of routes to talent and services to engage workers and services in specialist, operational and administrative functions.

CCS supports the public sector to achieve maximum commercial value when procuring common goods and services. In 2022/23, CCS helped the public sector to achieve commercial benefits equal to £3.8 billion - supporting public services that offer best value for taxpayers.

Matthew Rodger, AMS Chief Growth and Commercial Officer, said: “Following a competitive tendering process, we are very pleased to have been named as the single supplier on this new Framework agreement.  We look forward to continuing our work with the public sector to find the best talent and services, quickly and cost effectively, to meet their needs. Our specialist teams will continue to build on the success of the Public Sector Resourcing Framework as we extend our market-leading model, underpinned by leading technology platforms, to connect workers and service providers with public sector demand.”
