In order to be able to react in a flexible way to situations where there is a need for additional skills and capacity, the use of external staff is well-established in many businesses. The selection procedure and means of precurement have in general evolved organically.

Implications & Challenges

Employing a large number of low-budget providers brings with it several challenges. Their use leads to substantial administrative time and effort coupled with inadequate legal security and low quality standards. Moreover, one needs knowledge and capacity to control external staff and their suppliers. In addition, purchasing has to follow market-driven prices. On top of all that, requirements in terms of the capacity and specialised skills that are needed to realise the project increase all the time.
