Datum RPO signs five-year extension with top three customer VINCI

Staffline (AIM: STAF), the recruitment and training group, is pleased to announce that its Datum Recruitment Process Outsourcing consultancy ("Datum"), which specialises in the management of temporary workers on behalf of third parties, has secured a five-year contract extension with VINCI Construction UK.

The agreement with VINCI Construction UK, a specialist civil engineering, construction and facilities management company and part of the global VINCI Group, builds on Datum's existing contract, dating back to 2014, to manage VINCI's UK agency labour requirements through Datum's vendor neutral service. This partnership enables VINCI to gain full visibility on its agency spend across all business units and sites, ensuring efficient agency management as well as the legal compliance of VINCI's temporary workforce.

The contract has been extended for a further five-year period with exclusivity over a pipeline of VINCI's infrastructure projects. VINCI is a top three customer for Datum, who manage all temporary workers on VINCI's behalf across over 100 sites across the UK.

Albert Ellis, Chief Executive Officer of Staffline, commented:

"At a time of uncertainty, companies are looking at their strategic partners such as Datum, who provide recruitment outsourcing expertise as part of the broad portfolio of services offered by the Staffline Group. This contract extension reflects the strong working relationship with VINCI and further highlights our ability to leverage our market-leading positions and scale to secure both new agreements alongside broadening our service portfolio with existing blue-chip customers. It also points to encouraging signs of recovery in the construction industry, historically a strong sector for Datum."
