Truro City Council HR Support The City Council is a local authority providing services in the Parish of Truro. The City Council has general HR knowledge and experience within its employed staff but will rely on its support provider for expert legal and technical advice when necessary. The fundamental purpose of the contract is for the contractor to provide a HR service which is described in the specification of the contract. The period of the contract is initially for three years which may be extended for a further two years by the Council. The City Council has expanded its work and now has 65 staff on various contracts. Staff numbers may change during the contract period and may potentially include TUPE transfers into out of the Council. Council staff are employed at various locations within the City of Truro. The Council has a single status agreement in place, signed by UNITE and Unison, which was effective from March 2018. This document will need to be reviewed in 2024. The specification is split into three elements. • Keep under review existing TCC employment policies, procedures and contracts of employment. Keeping TCC up to date with legislative changes. • Provide ongoing HR advice particularly relating to employee relations, advising and supporting managers and Councillors. • Provide a neutral point of contact for employees for signposting. TCC anticipate that 30 hours per month would cover its needs (equivalent one day per week). Tenderers should allow as a minimum for a person being present in TCC offices twice a month, to provide face to face contact. For continuity purposes it is expected that this person will remain consistent subject to any changes in the staffing structure of the contractor. Tenderers should therefore provide the name and CV of a key contact to both manage the contract and provide the initial point of contact for advice as well as CV's for any other staff who will be involved in the delivery of the contract.
