Rate caps, margins and the mechanics of a temporary labour contract
Temporary staffing is bought through neutral vendor or master vendor arrangements far more often than through direct agency relationships, because a public body with many hiring managers needs one set of rates and one audit trail. The competition is therefore usually to run the arrangement or to sit on a supplier tier within it, and the winning variable is the margin above the worker's pay rate rather than the charge rate itself. Tenders commonly cap that margin by role family and require it to be disclosed on every placement.
The compliance burden is where bids are actually differentiated. Suppliers must evidence right to work, qualifications and professional registration, background checks appropriate to the setting, and correct employment status determination for tax purposes -- which in many jurisdictions has shifted liability onto the end client and made the supplier's assessment process a contractual deliverable. Equal treatment rules that entitle a temporary worker to the client's terms after a qualifying period change the cost of a long assignment and are routinely mispriced.
Service terms are about fill rather than supply. Buyers specify time to submit candidates, fill rates by role family, the proportion of assignments filled from within the tier, escalation when a role cannot be filled, and management information showing spend, tenure and conversion to permanent employment. Temp-to-permanent transfer fees, and whether they taper to zero after a period, are a standard negotiation point. Buyers increasingly scrutinise intermediary chains and umbrella arrangements, requiring visibility of every entity between the client and the worker.
This section describes how this category is bought generally, across the public buyers that publish it. The figures elsewhere on this page are measured for this market alone.
