The State Government had many providers of contingent labour across the Agencies providing various labour resources. There was a lack of contracts and panel structures in place, including protocols to manage the panel once established. The central Agency managing the provider contracts did not have the expertise or capacity at the time to review, identify, and implement ‘best practice’ contingent labour arrangements, and panels with preferred providers.
