Comensura wins £60m contract extension – 247 Professional Health welcomes the news and is ready to provide staffing throughout the Greater Manchester area for Comensura.

The Association of Greater Manchester Authorities (AGMA) has extended its temporary recruitment contract with neutral vendor company Comensura, until 2012. The total value of the contract extension is estimated to be £60 million. Mike Trevor, CEO of Comensura, says: â€œThe strengths which AGMA particularly appreciates are Comensura’s ability to offer collaborative reporting, improved visibility of usage and spend, increased control, and contract enforcement. The continuity and consistency across the authority is also a major benefit. By implementing Comensura’s temporary staffing solution AGMA is expected to save between six and eight per cent each year.” Comensura’s temporary recruitment solution for AGMA was first implemented in 2007 as a three-year collaborative contract that covered 11 authorities across Greater Manchester. The annual managed spend is in excess of  £30 million through 200 suppliers.
