Introducing ONEMSP - a project focused workforce solution

Traditional Managed Service Provider (MSP) models look at the entire company for efficiencies. That takes time. Large projects need quick implementation and quick results. The solution? ONEMSP.

ONEMSP is our new scaled back MSP offering, a project-focused out-of-the-box workforce solution.

Mega projects invariably run over schedule and way over budget. Just look at the Elizabeth Line or the Transpennine project for high-profile examples.

With ONEMSP, you can avoid becoming another example. We make sure you hit your timescale, while cutting costs and time spent hiring. All with just one system to manage, saving time and effort. And that’s just the start of the benefits.

Focus on project objectives

Almost every major project is planned around key milestones – with financial incentives for delivering on time and on budget along the way.

So why do projects get delayed so often? Often unforeseen challenges around complexity, early underfinancing, or unfeasible cost estimates set the tone. Running behind schedule normally has a financial penalty attached too.

We’re aware of the barriers that stop you from hitting your project targets. Which is why we work with you to establish key milestones and plan ahead so you have the right skills at the right time. You should ideally hit a planned peak of contingent workforce, but if your project is poorly resourced then you could miss a milestone and spend a fortune over-hiring to hit these targets.

With our approach you avoid penalties and deliver the project comfortably.

Real-time reporting

With a traditional MSP you can get detailed reports on almost every aspect of your contingent workforce, but you need time and some training to understand and act on them. With ONEMSP we’ve scaled it right back to give you clear insights quickly.

Reports are delivered with one click of a button and they’re easy to interpret, so you can keep the project on track while moving at speed.

And, crucially for a large project, the system will identify rogue spend, so you can bring hiring mangers back into line and keep valuable oversight across every department. You’ll never lose sight of the project’s actual spend, relative to the budgeted spend.

Access an enhanced supply chain

For a large project, you’ll need a range of skills. You can use your own supply chain where it meets you needs, but for niche skills or localized resourcing we can use additional agencies.

Crucially, we work with you to make sure all supply chain options meet the needs of the project. The unfortunate reality is that a standard supplier list mostly only cares about filling roles. They often don’t know the details around your project, never mind being invested in pushing your brand values.

We take all of this and more into account with a Vendor Management System, that’s highly automated and easy to use. Project managers and hiring managers will want to use it, because it makes their life easier.

Quick to deploy

A traditional MSP solution could take up to 18 weeks to deploy. For a project, that is not always sustainable. We’ve made ONEMSP nimble and ready to go in weeks, not months.

We do this by bringing in a programme team, with a single point of contact. This means you don’t need to spend valuable time managing lots of different suppliers.

Best of all? It gets quicker with repeat use. If you’ve implemented ONEMSP before, we can move faster on the next project because we know how your processes works – getting you ahead of schedule from day one.

Retain workers when it matters most

When projects start to tail off, workers start looking elsewhere. It’s inevitable. And it means you can quickly lose knowledge and skillsets.

Suddenly you need new people for a few months. But it’s hard to get short term contractors, so you pay a premium and your budget goes askew, as the project enters its later stages.

How do you prevent this from happening? We recommend using schemes like a bonus or pay-for-performance incentive which is paid at key milestones – people know it’s worth sticking around for that payment and it means you keep the right skills on the project.

And even more

ONEMSP does even more for you. You can get all the traditional VMS benefits, such as easy compliance management. We can mitigate the risks of worker misclassification, taking the admin burden away from your team.

The VMS is powerful, and we’ve scaled it back to fit this – but we can turn all those features back on. ONEMSP is an endlessly scalable solution that can ebb and flow with any project.
