Hybrid Model MSP

Flexibility: Our Hybrid MSP model is designed to flex around your organisation’s unique and evolving needs. By blending the exclusive supply benefits of a Master Vendor with the breadth and competition of a Neutral Vendor, this solution allows you to retain preferred suppliers while opening the door to additional sourcing options when needed. It gives you the ability to tailor supply routes by staff group, geography, or urgency — all under one managed framework. This nuanced approach ensures your workforce solution remains agile and responsive without compromising on consistency or quality.

Cost Efficiency:  The hybrid model allows for smarter budget control by striking a balance between rate governance and supplier competition. We work with you to identify where preferred rates can be locked in through primary suppliers, while also leveraging market competition to secure the best value for harder-to-fill or specialised roles. This dual approach helps mitigate premium spend, reduce overall agency costs, and deliver better value per hire — all while supporting service continuity and performance standards.

Reduced Complexity: Hybrid MSPs offer a refined structure that reduces the operational noise often associated with traditional multi-vendor approaches. We oversee the recruitment lifecycle from requisition to onboarding, integrating preferred workflows with responsive supplier engagement. This means less duplication, fewer process bottlenecks, and a more efficient route to workforce fulfilment — freeing up your internal teams to focus on service delivery and strategic planning.

Optimised Workforce: By combining structured supply routes with a broad network of providers, the hybrid model enables a more balanced and sustainable staffing strategy. You benefit from faster access to high-quality professionals across all staff types — from acute and community clinicians to back-office and non-clinical roles. We monitor supply patterns and workforce trends to help ensure equitable coverage across departments, minimising gaps, reducing agency dependency, and supporting long-term workforce planning.

Improved Compliance: Our hybrid MSP model embeds rigorous compliance checks across both core and extended suppliers, ensuring that all staff meet required standards regardless of route to hire. We provide regular audits, digital reporting, and proactive quality assurance measures to ensure full adherence to NHS frameworks, CQC expectations, and local governance requirements. You can be confident that your workforce remains compliant, safe, and ready to deliver care.

Enhanced Control: One of the core strengths of the hybrid model is that it gives you more say over how your recruitment function operates. You can decide which elements you wish to retain control over — such as supplier tiering, pricing agreements, or onboarding protocols — and which you’re happy to delegate. We’ll work with you to build a model that balances central oversight with local flexibility, so you retain influence without the operational burden.

Scalable Whether you need to expand rapidly due to backlog pressures or scale down during quieter periods, the hybrid MSP is built to flex in real time. Its dual-supply approach means you always have the infrastructure and reach to ramp up recruitment, even in high-demand specialisms or remote locations. This scalability makes the hybrid model ideal for Trusts and healthcare providers with variable caseloads, elective recovery plans, or multi-site service delivery.
