At a time when public sector outsourcing is simultaneously more prevalent and more widely criticised than ever, leading temporary staffing expert de Poel has worked wonders through its outsourcing partnership with North East Procurement Organisation (NEPO), achieving £1.23 million in savings in less than two years.

In addition to his, de Poel has also significantly reduced the need for administrative activities and overseen the use of almost 2,000 agency workers per week for NEPO’s customers, equating to over £30 million in spend.

Andrew Preston, Group Managing Director of de Poel, commented: “It is fantastic to be working with NEPO, offering the very best in temporary staffing solutions to their growing network of North East local authorities and associate members.

“We are delighted they have decided to extend the contract for a further two years; the target now is to grow the contract to a minimum of £40m in the next twelve months and continue to support NEPO in capturing further areas of their agency staffing spend, which were historically out of scope.”
