Parity Resources has been appointed by the Department of Health and NHS Purchasing and Supply Agency (NHS PASA) as one of the suppliers on the Commercial Resource Framework.

The Framework will provide the Department and NHS organisations with easy access to a list of pre-qualified suppliers of non-permanent workers with commercial skills. The Framework will support skills transfer to sustain the development of commercial skills throughout the NHS, Department of Health and the wider system.

Alan Rommel, managing director at Parity Resources, commented: “We are delighted to be awarded supplier status under the commercial resources framework. This builds on our presence in the Health sector where we are already supplying through the PASA Professional Administration Services framework and through Buying Solutions.”

“Parity’s sector specialists provide candidates that add value across Government and this contract award is evidence of the progress our Health team is making.”

The framework began on 1 June and will continue thorough to 30 April 2012, with an option to extend for a further two periods of 12 months.
