Response to this request is long overdue. Although not legally required to do so, we would have expected Orbit Housing Association to have responded by now (details). You can complain by requesting an internal review.

Dear Orbit Housing Association,
I would be most grateful if you would provide me, under the Freedom of Information Act, details in respect to the contract below.

Recruitment Agency Services

The details we require are:

• What model the Association currently uses to recruit / resource temporary workers ie PSL, Master Vendor Managed Service or Neutral Vendor Managed Service

• If PSL - a breakdown of the main agencies used over the past 12 months
• If a Managed Service is used - who is the primary supplier

• Actual contract values of each framework/contract (& any sub lots)
• Start date & duration of current contract
• Is there an extension clause in the agreement (s) / framework(s)/contract(s) and, if so, the duration of the extension?
• Has a decision been made yet on whether the framework(s)/contract(s) are being either extended or renewed?
• Who is the senior officer (outside of procurement) responsible for this contract?

Yours faithfully,

Terry Tibbs
