Healthcare recruiter Methods Consulting and multi-sector recruiter Search Consultancy have places on the NHS PASA commercial resources framework (CRF).

The framework provides the Department of Health (DH) and NHS organisations with easy access to a list of pre-qualified suppliers of non-permanent workers with commercial skills, as well as supporting skills transfer to sustain the development of commercial skills throughout the NHS, DH and the wider system.

Peter Rowlins, Methods’ public sector director, says: “Methods is pleased to have been awarded supplier status for the CSR. We will continue to build on our strong presence in the healthcare sector, delivering further benefits and efficiency savings throughout the NHS over the coming years.”

Grahame Caswell, chief executive of Search Consultancy, says: “It is more important than ever for the NHS to deliver an efficient service focused on maintaining high quality standards.”
