10 Mar, 20255 minutes
Have you heard about the Crown Commercial Services Framework?
Perhaps, but also perhaps not? Well, let me tell you all about it.
CCS is a pre-tendered governmental framework designed for Temporary and Fixed Term Contract recruitment within the Public Sector and Charity Sector. Before you click ‘close’ and think it isn’t for you, you should know that CCS does not interfere with NICS HR Framework.
Okay, with me so far, but what can you use it for?
The CCS Framework can be used for multiple hires, a one-off vacancy or specialist projects. Our Clients have used CCS to recruit for Corporate Services including Finance, HR, Operations, Marketing and Communications, IT, and Business Support, and Administration.
