How Northern Irish Councils have saved almost £1million on temporary staffing

In our latest report, we study how, since 2018, we have supported Northern Irish Councils to save almost £1million of their temporary staffing spend by utilising a great local marketplace. By working in partnership through our Neutral Vendor Managed Service model, we have supported the Councils to drive savings, engage with local suppliers and take full control of their spend through management information reports.

How is our Neutral Vendor Managed Service Model helping?

The largest benefit the Councils have experienced from transitioning to a Neutral Vendor model is that it introduces fair, open and transparent competition into the marketplace. The result is a supply chain that, in the knowledge they have fair access to buyer’s requirements, is keen to put forward the best candidates for mutual benefit. By competing with one another on an open and transparent field, prices more accurately reflect the true value of each candidate’s skills and expertise.

How are Northern Ireland Councils Benefiting?

Since partnering with Newry, Mourne and Down District Council in 2018, we are now working with Belfast City Council as well as Lisburn and Castlereagh City Council. We are helping them benefit from:

• Using local SMEs with over 20 on pre-agreed terms
• Filling 89% of roles from local SMEs
• Backing of 2,500 other global agencies if needed
• Drive savings of almost £1million on staffing costs
• Introduced clear and transparent management information reporting
