HYBRID MSP MODEL

The hybrid MSP model involves the best of both the Neutral Vendor and Master Vendor models. This involves using a mixture of different attributes from each sourcing model. For example, a single provider may be used to supply IT workers, whilst those less recruited for roles in legal leverage a supply base of multiple providers. Typically, the model is defined by geography, function or discipline and based on capabilities of the provider.
