The buyer’s description

“NEPO is considering the establishment of NEPRO Total Talent, a solution designed to provide public sector organisations with a compliant and flexible route for accessing and managing a broad range of workforce and talent requirements. The proposed solution is intended to support requirements both inside and outside IR35 and may encompass contingent labour, consultancy services, Statements of Work (SoW), project-based delivery, specialist professional resources and other workforce-related services. It is envisaged that the solution will provide a single, integrated approach to workforce engagement through the appointment of a specialist supply partner. The appointed provider would be expected to deliver workforce triage, market navigation and associated management services, enabling contracting authorities to identify and access the most appropriate delivery model for their specific requirements. The solution is expected to provide contracting authorities with improved visibility, governance and control across workforce engagement activities, whilst supporting access to a diverse range of talent, resource and service delivery models through a compliant and efficient commercial route. NEPRO Total Talent is intended to compliment the rest of the NEPRO suite of solutions providing public sector organisations with access to the most appropriate commercial models, market and expertise to meet their requirements. The precise scope, structure and delivery model of the solution remain subject to ongoing development and will be informed through the preliminary market engagement process.”
