Managed Service Programme (MSP)
A managed service programme takes the hassle out of managing your contingent workforce, bringing hiring, compliance, timesheets, and payments under one team so you can scale up or down.

Contingent labour spend is exceeding £5 million. Difficulty tracking workforce costs can lead to budget overruns. An MSP partner gives you better transparency and cost control over temporary staffing spend.
Compliance and risk are becoming harder to manage. The complexity of contingent workforce legislation can increase exposure. A managed service programme brings greater governance, consistency and control.
Access to specialist talent is limited. An MSP provider can open up curated talent pools and a wider managed supply chain tailored to your workforce needs.
Workforce planning is reactive rather than strategic. Managing contingent labour without a forward-looking strategy means always playing catch-up, while an MSP enables more data-led planning.
Managing a large contingent workforce across critical infrastructure is complex, high-stakes and heavily regulated. Our Managed Service Programme brings it under one accountable team, combining direct sourcing, technology and deep sector knowledge across nuclear, transport, rail and energy, so you cut supplier chaos, stay compliant and keep programmes moving on time.
As critical infrastructure specialists, we manage your contingent workforce end-to-end, across nuclear, transport, energy, and utilities. Here is what our MSP solution puts in place to keep hiring compliant, efficient, and under control.

A Managed Service Programme provider manages an organisation’s contingent workforce. They handle sourcing, procurement, compliance, and vendor management, making hiring easier and the workforce more productive, all through one accountable point of contact.
A contingent workforce is made up of non-permanent workers such as contractors, freelancers, temporary staff, and consultants, hired on a flexible basis to meet short-term or project-specific needs.
A managed service programme serves as a central point of control for an organisation’s contingent workers. It coordinates suppliers, ensures compliance, tracks spending, and uses data-driven strategies to improve workforce planning, lowering both cost and risk.
A neutral vendor independently manages multiple recruitment agencies without bias towards any one supplier. The goal is to divide roles fairly to find the best talent and keep the supply chain open and transparent, so no vendor gets an unfair advantage. Find out more about MSP delivery models.
A master vendor is the primary source of contingent workers, handling most placements directly but able to manage other agencies as subcontractors. The model emphasises simplicity and cost reduction. Find out more about MSP delivery models.
We are flexible and can operate as both. That said, we primarily work as a master vendor, which is where we thrive in critical infrastructure, focusing on direct sourcing and achieving over 90% direct fulfilment on many accounts.
