An Edinburgh-based IT recruitment specialist has won the right to secure IT staff for the NHS, local government, universities, charities and blue light services.
Cathcart Associates has been appointed to a new public sector framework designed for the NHS but open to public sector organisations and government departments. NHS Procurement in Partnership and Crown Commercial Service (CCS), the largest single procurer in the country, have joined forces in this new Workforce Alliance. In 2018/19, it helped the public sector to achieve commercial benefits worth £945 million. CCS currently operates over 100 frameworks.
Gordon Kaye, co-founder of Cathcart Associates, said: “As a successful independent recruitment agency we are very effective at placing candidates in niche IT roles that are typically difficult to fill. We are very pleased that our success rate of delivering value and quality candidates has paved the way to acceptance onto this framework.
“We look forward to delivering the same high standard of candidates through CCS that our existing clients already enjoy.”
The contract win sees Cathcart Associates named as a supplier on the CCS and NHS Procurement in Partnership staffing frameworks.
