Continued growth thanks to the support of our customers and candidates, the financial year ending March 2019 was a successful and significant one for Value Match. Over the year we saw our business continue to develop, increasing the number, type and variety of clients we support and expanding the services we offer.
In 2018 – 2019 we supported a record number of private sector organisations’ successful bids into the public sector, winning places on contracts and frameworks in services as diverse as cleaning services, recruitment, ICT hardware, call centre management, construction, dental services and various cloud solutions and medical devices looking to break into the NHS and wider public sector.
Our Executive Search Recruitment team have placed a record number of specialist resources for roles in procurement, supply chain, project, programme and bid management, often at very short notice to meet urgent client requirements. For one private sector client we were able to place a number of security cleared (SC), specialist interim resources on-site within 3 working days of receiving the job description/requirement.
Throughout the year we successfully delivered a range of Procurement Readiness (Tender Development) and Bid Writing training events both outright and with some of our key partners. These events were designed and led by proven practitioners with exceptional track records of successful delivery in procurement and bid management. Feedback from both clients and attendees has been extremely positive with several events being repeated to meet additional demand and plans to expand our offerings into the next financial year.
To continue to develop a strong and sustainable business, Value Match has increased its investment in people, processes and systems. Since launching in 2013 Value Match has demonstrated year on year growth and developed a nationwide network of experts in all areas of procurement, eCommerce and bid management.
