Register of Pre-Qualified Suppliers - External Labour Hire Services

⁠⁠⁠Pursuant to section 232 of the Local Government Regulation 2012 (Qld), the Principal intends to establish a register of pre-qualified suppliers for External Labour Hire Services.

The Principal invites tenders from suitably qualified and experienced parties for inclusion on the register.

External labour hire is the provision of outsourced skilled and/or unskilled workers hired by Council for short- or long-term positions. Labour hire workers are employed by an external labour hire organisation, not Council to whom they provide labour on a hire period basis. In this context, external labour hire does not refer to consultants or companies engaged under a contract to provide services directly to Council.

The service is generally for the provision of qualified, experienced labour resources where Council considers permanent employment is not appropriate.
