What the buyer is looking for

European tender Framework contract Sourcing difficult to fill vacancies Description The aim of this tender is to arrive at a selection of five market parties to submit a tender for the Framework contract Sourcing difficult to fill vacancies. This selection guide has been drawn up as part of the first phase of the European non-operable procurement procedure. This means that the tender consists of two phases. In the first phase, all interested economic operators may apply to participate in the tender, after which a selection will be made on the basis of minimum requirements and selection criteria. The objective of this selection guide is as follows: - informing interested entrepreneurs about the content of the project: - explaining how to register for Candidates; - describe the grounds for exclusion, eligibility requirements and Selection Criteria that Candidates must meet when submitting…

… their Application; - explaining how the Notifications are assessed. The selected Candidates (Tenderers) will then receive an invitation to submit a Tender in the second phase (then the phase is now non-public). The aim is to select 5 Candidates and invite them to submit a Tender. Due to tightness in the labour market, assignments have been put on the market in recent years for sourcing candidates for vacancies that are difficult to fill. Because the European tender threshold has been exceeded, WSRL is obliged to tender for this contract at European level. WSRL wishes to enter into a framework agreement with one party for sourcing candidates for vacancies that are difficult to fill. By hard-to-fill vacancies, WSRL means positions where the target group to be approached is scarce and the demand, in similar organizations such as WSRL, is relatively high. This contract only concerns sourcing services (searching, identifying, approaching, enthusing and supplying potential candidates). Candidates and search output must be transferred in full to WSRL. Selection, assessment, interviews, reference checks, negotiations, placement and remuneration on the basis of appointment (success fee / percentage of annual salary) are not part of the contract. When sourcing, sourcers actively look for suitable candidates for a specific (often difficult to fill) vacancy, instead of waiting for candidates to come forward themselves. This is often done via platforms such as LinkedIn and other professional networks. The goal is to reach the latent job seeker who (now) are not actively looking for a new job, but are open to interesting opportunities. Vacancies will only be posted to the Contractor in which the candidate will only be employed directly by WSRL upon placement, without the intervention of the Contractor. These can be vacancies within different target groups of the Client. The service is a best-efforts obligation. The Contracting Authority reserves the right to select or reject proposed candidates at any time and invites candidates to interviews at its sole discretion. WSRL is looking for a Contractor who proactively thinks along, advises within the framework of this assignment as well as executes with regard to the above and is able to adjust the strategy based on feedback and changing needs. A broad and relevant network is essential.
