Certes selected to supply IT skills to the NHS

Certes Computing, the Midlands based Recruitment business, specialising in IT and Technical staffing, have won yet another prestigious supply agreement, this time with the NHS Purchasing and Supply Agency (PASA). Hot on the heals of the recent announcement of their Catalist framework agreement award to supply local and Central Government, this latest win supports Certes continuing investment into the public sector.

Speaking of their NHS supply agreement Simon Churan, Managing Director of Certes said, ëwe are delighted to have been given a Framework agreement by NHS PASA to supply the growing need for IT Contingency staff across the NHS. As the largest employer in the UK and with temporary staffing spend for administrative and professional staff reaching 165m per annum, the NHS presents a growing opportunity for IT professionals at all levels.í

NHS PASA sought to appoint new framework agreements to employment businesses that consistently met the highest professional levels of performance and conduct. In the complex legal and regulatory environment of the NHS, PASA needed suppliers who could demonstrate a strong focus on; diversity and equality of opportunity, compliance with
legislation and regulations, 100% eligibility of workers to work, and minimisation of risk.
