Understanding the Role of MSP Fieldglass in Managing State Contracts

The recent announcement by the State of Ohio has raised questions about the role of suppliers and managed service providers (MSPs) in managing contracts. One key question on many minds is whether May suppliers have direct contact with the State or if they should route their inquiries through InGenesis Program Managers.

To clarify, existing suppliers will not be able to continue with their direct contract with the State of Ohio. Instead, all supplier contracts will be managed by InGenesis, ensuring that all suppliers are treated equally and given the opportunity to maximize their participation in the program. As the main point of contact for suppliers, MSPs oversee the entire process of engaging a temporary workforce, from collecting position requirements from Ohio managers to payment to suppliers for the contingent workers' time.

Managed Service Providers (MSPs) play a crucial role in standardizing requisition and onboarding processes, worker engagement, and regulatory compliance for the State of Ohio. They are third-party businesses that manage certain departments on behalf of the business, ensuring efficient and effective operations.

In addition to managing contracts, MSPs can also work as staffing or marketing agencies by connecting freelancers with management. Some MSPs already use established VMS (Vendor Management System) systems, while others have developed their own.

The question remains whether it is more advantageous for MSPs to develop their own VMS system or collaborate with existing ones such as Beeline and Fieldglass. This will be the focus of my upcoming post, which will provide a detailed analysis with supporting data to answer this question more definitively next week.

In conclusion, MSPs like Fieldglass play a vital role in managing state contracts by ensuring equal treatment for all suppliers, streamlining processes, and maintaining regulatory compliance. As we delve deeper into the world of VMS and MSP, it becomes clear that collaboration is key to success.
