Waiver - Sole Trader Reasons - Recruitment agency for Interim Head of SCP - The rates agreed with Allen Lane have been negotiated so that the cost is in line with Comensura. There was a misunderstanding that Allen Lane were part of the corporate contract. Comensura have refused to onboard Allen Lane as a client. This worker is not with any other agency that is with comensura. Due to urgency of recruitment we need to proceed as planned.
