To consider a report by Councillor Barbara Smith, Lead Member for Modernising and Performance (copy enclosed) seeking Cabinet’s support to renew the Matrix Contract via the MSTAR framework.

RESOLVED that Cabinet agreed to renew the Matrix Contract via the MSTAR framework.

Councillor Barbara Smith presented the report seeking Cabinet’s support to renew the current contract with Matrix SCM, via the MSTAR framework, for managing the Council’s agency workers thus improving control, safeguarding and visibility as well as delivering efficiency savings.

The contract was part of a collaborative agreement with Flintshire and Wrexham local authorities.  Due to the value of the contract there was a requirement to obtain approval from Cabinet to proceed.  It was confirmed that there were no financial implications arising from the recommendation because it involved the renewal of an existing contract.  In response to questions the HR Services Manager reported upon the process of monitoring the contract and provided further detail of the savings delivered since using Matrix SCM.

RESOLVED that Cabinet agreed to renew the Matrix Contract via the MSTAR framework.
