II.1.4) Short description
Manchester Central is currently looking for suppliers to provide agency workers for a range of Event Hospitality Services across a number of City Centre locations.
At any one time, Manchester Central may require in excess of 350 workers. The agency staff may be provided by a number of suppliers.
The successful suppliers will provide competent Members of Staff, who have received the minimum training as follows:
- Basic Health & Safety Training including manual handling, training which is sufficient and commensurate to the work involved.
- For all FOH staff Basic Food Hygiene Level 2
- For all food handling roles Food Hygiene and Safety Level 2
- For all FOH staff customer service training
- Allergen training https://allergytraining.food.gov.uk/
- Venue induction
Prior to commencement of work with Manchester Central all agency staff will be expected to undergo a Manchester Central site induction which covers site specific Health and Safety and operational matters which lasts no longer than 30 minutes. This will typically take the form of an induction video and is expected to be undertaken by the agency at their premises prior to staff being deployed on site. For clarity induction time is not chargeable to the Company. MCCCL will reserve the right to audit twice yearly.
The Contract will be for a period of two (2) years from the commencement date of services with a Manchester Central only option to extend for a further period of twelve months. The contract value for 2 years is estimated at 1.4 million.
Manchester Central is committed to ensuring that all agency workers receive the National living wage and then the Real living wage once trained as an hourly rate of pay. As such the Company has fixed the rates that agency providers are required to pay to their staff (as a minimum rate of pay) and has hence fixed the rates it will pay agencies for the provision of services under this tender. The proposed rates (being the current rates of pay and chargeable rates) are set out in Appendix 2 along with the mechanism for uplifting annually in line with increases to the National living wage and the Real Living wage. Untrained workers (see criteria for trained workers below) and trained workers must be paid the National Living wage or Real living wage irrespective of age and the chargeable rates for such untrained workers are also set out in Appendix 2 along with the future pricing mechanism. For clarity if the contract is extended the pricing mechanism shall continue as per the initial two years.
This tender is therefore quality and sustainability focused as prices payable are fixed.
