Explanation:
Without any context my feeling is that the term refers to the services they, the temp agency, supply rather than services to their temps.

They supposedly supply temps, i.e. temporary staff. So the translation might for example be "temporary staff" or "services of temporary staff".

Without any context this is can only be an educated guess.
