Type of supply agreement
There are a number of agency agreements that can be put in place, the most appropriate depends upon your business requirements. Each type of agreement can encompass all forms of staff engagement, e.g. Temporaries, fixed term contractors, Contractors, permanent employees. The options available to you with Roevin include -
- Managed Agency Supply
A derivative of master vendor agreements which allow the client to closely monitor the effectiveness of the supplier base through the management information and KPIs reported by the managing agency.
The managed agency structure normally includes a first and second tier of suppliers who are managed to ensure that the client is guaranteed a 100% supply fulfilment. A client would normally be involved in the selection and review of second tier suppliers. The managing agency and their group companies would normally supply first tier supply and thereby ensure a preferential opportunity to fill most requirements.
This structure offers added value to the client and can effectively reduce the client’s risk in dealing with one supplier.
The cost of providing a managed service can either be recovered via a management fee, or as a higher percentage of second tier mark-ups or where the volume to be sourced by the managing agency is high enough, from the managing agency mark-up.
- Master Vendor Agreement
A Master Vendor agreement is usually appropriate where the client/supplier relationship is well developed and a single contract is put in place to cover all supply of personnel (may include permanent recruitment services in addition to the supply of contract staff).
The supplier controls all supply chain agreements which will normally need to be consistent with the fixed pricing set in the Master Vendor contract
The client has one source of supply and can therefore drastically reduce their administration in respect of the supply of personnel. Pricing will normally be set to reflect the volume of business being channeled into one supplier.
- Preferred Supplier List (PSL)
This is often the first step a client company may take in order to bring under control a situation where they have too many suppliers.
Normally suppliers will go through a pre-qualification process in order to ascertain ability to supply, financial security, quality procedures etc.
Suppliers who are then appointed to the PSL will normally have pre agreed terms set by the client thereby removing the need for service users to engage in individual negotiations.
The PSL is a restricted list giving suppliers the opportunity to increase their business levels with the client, however this also allows the client the opportunity to ’leverage’ their suppliers and reduce their agencies mark up.
- Approved Supplier/Lead Agreement
A client may issue approval to a supplier on agreement to adopt pay and charge rates that are consistent with the client’s other suppliers. Where commercial terms are identical across the supplier base, quality of service becomes the main criteria for competition.
A lead agreement can be used as a method of giving a supplier ’a lead’ with requirements in recognition of a reduced agency mark-up. Used as a method of accelerating growth of businesses with clients where competition is high and supplier’s share of the business is low.
