Challenge

The Flemish Government was confronted with challenges like: limited access to new suppliers & freelancers, high throughput times between the moment of demand & start of the new contractors, high sourcing and contractor costs, lack of transparency and flexibility.

In addition, each different legal entity within the organization had different procedures & security requirements. The high complexity of the hiring process, together with a great number of Contingent Workers on -and offboarding the organization, resulted in an urgent need for increased internal and external transparency.

Solution

Combination of a Vendor Management System (CE VMS), a Marketplace (CE MP) & a Managed Service Provider (MSP):

CE VMS structured, digitised & optimised the processes through one platform for all entities. CE MP provided all involved stakeholders with a real time, direct access to suppliers & freelancers. MSP served as a neutral single point of contact delivering HR, sourcing & administrative services.

Prime Minister - Flemish Government

"With the complicated rules of public procurement and procedures, it’s much more efficient to work with reusable framework contracts, available for everyone. This is also more transparent for the candidate suppliers. Add a radical digital method to that, and you get an electronic marketplace with hundreds of clients and suppliers."
