What are the issues I should bear in mind in the tendering process for the supply of agency staff at a local authority?
What do you think?

One key point is to consider using an eAuction as part of the procurement process.
Non price factors can be taken into account and the suppliers see it as an open and transparent way of running the competition.
With weighted and multi-attribute auctions being used increasingly in the public sector, this tool/process is being used to deliver best value in a wide range of categories.
