Wed, 17 Sep 2014 | By Sarah MarquetA new framework for sourcing temporary staff across the 12 North-East councils is expected to make significant savings.
It was announced today [17 September] that the North East Procurement Organisation (NEPO) had appointed temporary recruitment specialist de Poel to manage and deliver temporary labour services across the 12 councils.
The deal is hoped to save an estimated six-figure sum, although a more specific amount had not been determined.
NEPO senior procurement manager Steven Sinclair told Recruiter there was a growing need for temporary staff in response to a greater need for a flexible workforce created by factors including the economy.
He said this agreement would enable the councils to staff services strategically in order to “better meet the interests of local residents”.
Managing director of de Poel Joe Tully told Recruiter it would be his company’s job to manage the councils’ relationships with their various temporary staffing agencies.
It means de Poel, part of the Brookfield Rose Group, will set up a dedicated North-East office, with four staff, to oversee the operations.
Not only will they be tasked with managing the flow of temporary staff, including timesheets and pay rates, they will be responsible for auditing the agencies that provide them.
The partnership between the de Poel and NEPO will create a nationally-available framework.
