Delivering multi-million savings in your contingent workforce with Mark Coulson

The Procurement Conversation

In this episode, Rich talks to procurement professional Mark Coulson talks about important changes in IR35 Interim Worker Space, including the significant tax offset change, and the resulting opportunities for procurement teams.
This conversation reveals how these changes can de-risk IR35 by about 75%, leading to material cost savings, providing access to better caliber contractors, and avoiding the need to body shop.
Mark further suggests that given these changes, companies need to reconsider the restrictions they have put on engaging contractors, especially since newer technology platforms can ensure compliance across different countries. He also provides insight into the potential savings opportunities and advises procurement leaders to use these changes as a catalyst to reopen the discussion about the company's policy stance on engaging contractors.
