Vital Human Resources<\/a>, part of the Morson Group, has secured a \u00a3150m contract to supply Network Rail<\/a> with strategic and operational roles over the next five years<\/h2>\n

Running until 2026, with a possible extension until 2029, Vital will supply 100% of Network Rail’s frontline labour for the East Coast Mainline, North East, East Midlands and Wales.<\/p>\n

Regionally, those roles will include: core labour, track, civils, track worker protection and semi-professional grades.<\/p>\n

The company will also manage all recruitment for signalling & telecommunications and electrification and plant, nationwide.<\/p>\n

In a bid to uplift the wider rail industry, Vital will channel 20% of the workforce through SME alliance partners, supporting SME businesses<\/a> in the rail supply chain.<\/p>\n

Vital will redress the balance of labour by consciously creating a workforce that reflects the communities it serves.<\/p>\n

Over the course of the contract, it will help tackle the skills shortage within the rail industry by attracting and appointing BAME candidates<\/a>, females, ex-offenders, entry-level talent, and other under-represented groups.<\/p>\n

\u2018Servicing the full spectrum of UK rail infrastructure\u2019<\/h3>\n

Gary Hardaker, executive director at Vital Human Resources, said: \u201cWe are proud to be awarded such a significant contract with Network Rail. This is a great opportunity to develop a strong and mutually beneficial working relationship at an important time in the rail industry.<\/p>\n

\u201cWith this contract in place, Vital will enhance its capacity to service the full spectrum of the UK rail infrastructure.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe hire to make an impact, and the scope of this appointment means that we can work with Network Rail strategically, putting the right people in the right places for the benefit of the organisation and those who rely upon it.<\/p>\n

\u201cUltimately, we hope to support Network Rail to achieve a personnel mix that represents the world we live in, a culture where people thrive, their ambitions are nurtured, and customers reap the benefits.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mobilisation of the Network Rail labour contract<\/a> is already underway, with deployment starting on 1 October.<\/p>\n
