JACKSONVILLE, Fla., Jan. 28 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- MPS Group(R), Inc.
(NYSE: MPS) announced today that the London Borough of Lambeth has selected
Badenoch & Clark(R) and Beeline(R) to provide an integrated solution for the
recruitment and administration of its contingent workforce. Badenoch and Clark
is MPS Group's United Kingdom-based professional services unit, while Beeline
is MPS Group's human capital solutions unit.
Badenoch & Clark specializes in finance and accounting staffing services
in the United Kingdom and Europe. Beeline offers a wide range of human capital
products and solutions that assist companies with the acquisition and
management of both full-time and contingent workers. Beeline for Contingent
Labor, the solution selected by Lambeth, is a Web-based application that
automates and streamlines the manual processes associated with the hiring life
cycle of contingent workers, from the creation of requisitions to the payment
of suppliers.
The Lambeth council's services are provided in one of the most vibrant and
diverse boroughs in London in areas, including Brixton, Streatham, Clapham,
Norwood, and Waterloo. The council provides public services such as support
for educational programs, secure housing communities, affordable and
accessible social care services, assistance with job and career development,
top-of-the-line social services for families and children, and assistance for
local businesses.
The council sought a flexible contingent labor solution that would enable
it to accomplish three primary objectives: manage its staffing needs across
all labor categories, including IT, administrative, finance, healthcare,
social care, and human resources; work with the multiple vendors that supply
these services through a managed services arrangement; and consolidate its
billing and payment processes.
"We are seeking to maintain a variable cost component of our workforce
through the use of contingent labor," stated Robert Overall, head of
procurement for the Borough of Lambeth. "With Badenoch & Clark's expertise in
the public sector and Beeline's ability to manage these critical functions
more efficiently, we believe we will be able to increase our services while
lowering our costs for contract labor."
"Over the last three years, we have made a concerted effort to increase
our business in the public sector," said Will Shepherd, executive director for
Badenoch & Clark. "This win adds to our impressive list of clients, and allows
us to introduce the Beeline solution to this market. We will deliver to the
Borough of Lambeth the best service possible in the United Kingdom."
