Summary
Machine-generated summaryUtrecht University is procuring a service provider to handle the recruitment, selection and supply of temporary staff under the Dutch Jobs Agreement Act (Wet Banenafspraak). Participation in the procedure and performance of the contract are reserved for social employment enterprises and sheltered workplace entrepreneurs within the meaning of Article 2.82 of the Dutch Procurement Act. The provider's main aim must be the social and professional integration of people with disabilities or disadvantaged persons, and at least 30% of its employees must belong to these groups, filled substantially rather than through short temporary or zero-hour contracts. The estimated value is EUR 4,000,000 excluding VAT for the entire contract including extension options, based on 70 FTE to be achieved under the 2027 quota.
