Submission of unsolicited CVs or candidate details to the Council, whether directly or to individual employees, will not be considered as an introduction and will not create any obligation on the Council to pay any fees.

Agencies wishing to work with the Council must do so only via our approved procurement processes and neutral vendor arrangements.
