Outsourced Labour Supply Chain Audits
It is important that all the legislation is considered and dealt with correctly and compliantly, especially as organisations are being asked to make changes to the way they engage contingent workers .
Your company is now required to provide additional information and checks to safeguard all parties in the supply chain as liability for non-compliance can be transferred to the directors of all companies in the chain, and that is where Pendragon Consultancy can support you.

There is more to protecting your supply chain than using Accredited Umbrella companies and creating a PSL. Promoters of tax avoidance schemes
are sophisticated and have a lot of money to invest c£500M-£1M is the typical cost of getting a solution from concept to market, so they need to be successful to recoup their outlay.

Why do You Need a Preferred Supplier List?
Best Value & Cost Saving
A preferred supplier list ensures that your suppliers provide the highest value in terms of pricing, quality, financial stability, and contract performance for your company. Your negotiation power will increase as you work with recommended suppliers, allowing you to negotiate better pricing and save money.
Better Decision Making
Data-driven decision-making is essential to effective procurement, and compiling a preferred supplier is the ideal way to go about it. Your list should make it easy for your company to acquire supplier information. The simplest method is to employ a digital e-sourcing system that connects internal and external parties while also providing up-to-date and appropriate data for decision-making.
Risk Management
A preferred supplier list can help control commercial and legal risks. It is one of the most significant benefits for a recruiter; If your suppliers share your values and are compliant with key legislation, you can decrease your exposure to certain regulations and help keep your company secure in the long run.

Lets us help you shape your compliance standards process
This is an opportunity for you to engage Pendragon Comply as a relevant and necessary partner in the effort to shape your compliance business processes into being an effective deterrent against non-compliance and tax avoidance schemes that would be harmful to your business, staff , long-term profitability and future sale.
For many, this will require a profound transformation, for a few it will still be a journey of discovery. So why bother? Agency clients expect more from the service they receive. A basic job filling service doesn’t find them the skilled candidates they need to do the work but they still want a competitive price.
As an Agency you are expected to attract and place the right candidate in those jobs and to do that you must do right by the temporary worker or contractor. Exposing them to high fines because you enabled tax avoidance scheme operators to work within your business is on YOU. Lack of knowledge is not a defence in law. The power is held between the end client and agency and that is why it is so important to do the due diligence. Others in the supply chain like umbrellas, accountancy service providers and workers will then have a secure framework from which to operate within the rules.
