Public Sector Recruitment boosted by new NEPO-Comensura Framework

Following an extensive procurement process, NEPO announces an all-new provider for agency recruitment. The five-year contract, launching in May, will deliver compliant, cost-effective, and high-quality agency staffing services to the public sector through Comensura.

As a sole-supplier, Comensura will bring over two decades of workforce management expertise to deliver an innovative, value-driven recruitment solution for the public sector. Comensura will act as a key strategic partner, operating as a vendor-neutral managed service provider. Utilising their expertise, they will ensure a seamless transition and consistent service delivery for NEPO’s members.

The appointment will allow for a fully compliant, flexible and cost-effective route to market for the sourcing of temporary and interim staff across a wide range of job categories, from administrative roles, to social care and specialist roles.

Carl Telford, Professional Services Lead, NEPO said: “In today’s climate, where organisations are balancing resource pressures with the need for greater efficiency, having a reliable partner for workforce acquisition is essential. This new partnership offers our members confidence that they can access high-quality talent through a compliant and cost-effective solution.”

Aaron Wawman, Sales Director, Comensura said: "This award is a testament to our expertise, innovation, and unwavering commitment to delivering outstanding workforce solutions for the public sector. We look forward to working in partnership with NEPO and its members to drive exceptional outcomes, ensuring they have access to the best talent while achieving significant cost efficiencies."

In addition to value for members, the partnership will place a strong emphasis on social value. As part of NEPO’s procurement process all suppliers are required to demonstrate their support for local communities and foster economic growth through delivery of their solutions.
