Bespak, the leading developer and manufacturer of complex medical devices, has awarded The Cordant Group a three-year contract to provide temporary staff at three of its UK manufacturing locations.
Under the terms of the deal the Cordant Group businesses PMP Recruitment and Cordant People will provide around 120 candidates each week to sites at Kings Lynn, Cambridge and Nelson, near Burnley. They will support the existing workforce in the development and production of a range of respiratory and injectable drug delivery devices with the business operating on a 24/7 basis. An onsite PMP Recruitment team will manage all aspects of the recruitment, training, performance and payroll at the Kings Lynn and Cambridge locations whilst Cordant People take the lead at Nelson.
Maggie Grey, Indirect Category Manager at Bespak, said: “We needed a partner who could provide the right candidates, as well as intensive vetting and comprehensive training to ensure the highest safety standards are maintained. The Cordant Group proved they have the skills, experience and right attitude to support us and we look forward to developing this relationship moving forward.” 
Gary Bradley, National Business Manager at Cordant People, said: “We have strong experience in the medical and health sector so we understand the stringent requirements around candidate selection and training. Our branch locations that are near to each of the sites will provide additional support as required and we are confident in our ability to provide a highly efficient and reliable service.”
Meanwhile, Phillip Ullmann of Cordant Group – one of the country’s biggest recruitment firms – recently said that British business needs to fundamentally change its approach to public sector contracts in response to growing public distrust.
He said: “Flawed public procurement deals that leave taxpayers bearing all the risk are the best way anyone has yet devised to persuade voters that the modern economy really is a rigged game. New rules are overdue. Public services should be delivered by accountable social business that employ locally, share profits, and cap pay and dividends.”
