Temporary Workers

Braintree District Council has awarded a contract to First Call Contract Services valued at approximately £3.9 million to supply temporary workers supporting operations across waste services, street cleansing, horticulture, grounds maintenance, HGV repair, and general service delivery. The contractor must conduct robust compliance checks on all temporary workers, and the council reserves the right to use alternative agencies if required capacity cannot be met. The contract may be impacted by Local Government Reform and devolution, with successor bodies potentially assuming the council's functions.
