Managed Service Programme.

Temporary talent, without the chaos.

We help businesses harness the power of flexible workers, minus the risk, cost and admin. Temporary workers are a vital part of today’s workforce. Over half of all STEM professionals are open to contract work.

But here’s the catch: if you’re not managing this workforce properly, you’re burning time & money, and potentially opening yourself up to risk. That’s where a Managed Service Programme (MSP) comes in.

What is an MSP?

It’s a smarter, centralised way to manage your contract workforce. 

Instead of juggling agencies, pay rates and compliance yourself, you hand it to a partner who handles the whole thing for you — from sourcing and supply chain, onboarding and pay to reporting and risk management.

We give you fast access to specialist skills, fast, risk and fuss free. That can be through our own delivery teams, your supply chain or a mix of both. 

You might call it a ‘contingent staffing solution’, ‘flexible workforce programme’ or ‘off-payroll resource management’. 

We call it your competitive advantage.

Is MSP Right For You?

If you’re nodding to any of these, it might be time to take action:

  • You’ve got more contractors than you can count
  • Your teams are swamped managing agencies
  • Costs are creeping up — or worse, you’ve lost track
  • Service levels aren’t where they should be
  • You can’t see what’s working and what’s not
  • Your contractor and supplier T’s & C’s are all over the place
  • Your contractors are more ‘a part of the furniture’ than some employees!
