For Immediate Release
MSB AWARDED JOINT SUPPLIER STATUS FOR UNISYS I.T. CONTRACT RECRUITMENT
SERVICES IN THE UK
MSB International PLC ("MSB" or "The Company"), a leading provider of human
capital and recruitment solutions, announces that it has been selected as one of
two preferred suppliers for the provision of IT contract recruitment and
additional related services to Unisys, the global information technology and
service company.
With over 300 IT contractors in the UK and an estimated annualised spend of over
#20 million, Unisys has been seeking to consolidate further its IT recruitment
suppliers, as part of their ongoing recruitment strategy in the UK.
The tendering process, which involved leading recruitment organisations,
resulted in MSB being selected as a preferred supplier for an initial period of
two-years.
Unisys will be taking advantage of MSB's innovative service initiatives, some of
which have been specifically developed to provide Unisys with improved business
processes, increasing efficiency with the delivery of quality resources,
reducing time to hire and ultimately delivering cost savings. These initiatives
include enhanced account management, resource planning and delivery, quality
assurance, technical verification, a comprehensive 10-year security screening
scheme, MSB's vehicle management programme and an extensive contractor care
policy.
Tony O'Connor, Unisys Director of Procurement, UK & Europe, said of the
agreement: "MSB has been our key supplier for a number of years. The company was
selected because of its proven track record in the delivery of technical and
cultural "best-fit" candidates alongside the innovative and progressive range of
value-add services. MSB understands our organisation and it is clearly committed
to our business needs and requirements. The development of a long-term supplier
relationship will assist Unisys in achieving its corporate goals and
objectives."
Andrew Zielinski, Chief Executive Officer at MSB, said: "I am delighted with
this significant business win for MSB which has resulted from the hard work of
our team. Over the past 18-months, we have invested heavily in the development
of our resource delivery function and value-added service offerings. This
investment has enabled us to focus on the building and development of long-term
client relationships, a fundamental part of our business strategy."
