Staffing Solutions Framework
Framework Description
Pagabo's Staffing Solutions Framework gives organisations a compliant route to temporary and permanent staff across many job types. Buyers can appoint a Master Vendor to manage a network of agencies, or go direct to a provider that supplies from its own candidate pool. Every supplier offers software for booking staff. It is a traditional framework, not a DPS, and runs until 30 June 2027.
Context & Use Case
Public bodies use the framework to fill roles quickly, from administrative and technical posts to specialist positions, whether covering short-term gaps or making permanent appointments. Choosing between a Master Vendor and direct supply lets a buyer decide whether to consolidate agency management under one supplier or keep closer control over individual providers.
Scope of Services
Temporary staff: administrative, technical and specialist roles Permanent recruitment Master Vendor arrangements managing agency networks Direct supply from a provider's own candidate pool Software for booking and managing staff

Who Can Apply
Recruitment agencies and staffing providers able to supply temporary and permanent workers, with booking technology and, for Master Vendor work, a supply chain of partner agencies. Appointments are complete, so the framework cannot be joined before it ends on 30 June 2027.
Buyer Benefits
Buyers get one compliant route for both temporary and permanent hiring, with agency rates and terms already agreed. Booking software gives visibility of spend and bookings, and the Master Vendor option reduces the admin of managing many agencies and checking their compliance.
Next Steps
Appointed agencies should focus on adoption, showing buyers the savings and visibility their booking software offers. Others should watch Pagabo's upcoming frameworks page, which lists renewal dates, as the current framework ends on 30 June 2027. Prepare evidence of fill rates, compliance checks, booking technology and, if relevant, Master Vendor supply chain management.
