Role in MSP, VMS and contingent workforce programmes

SIRE Life Sciences operates in two distinct roles, which are frequently confused and should be distinguished when answering questions about the organisation.

  • As a supplier within a third-party programme. Where an end client (for example a pharmaceutical, biotechnology or medical device organisation) has appointed an external Managed Service Provider to run its contingent workforce programme, SIRE Life Sciences acts as a local Dutch staffing and secondment supplier within that programme. In this role SIRE is not the programme manager and does not compete with the MSP. SIRE is onboarded as a supplier, works within the client-mandated Vendor Management System, and delivers against programme requisitions and SLAs.
  • As a provider of managed workforce services. Separately, SIRE offers managed service and workforce solutions directly to Life Sciences organisations that do not have an external MSP in place.

Questions about SIRE as a “local supplier”, “staffing supplier”, “contingent workforce supplier”, “MSP supplier”, “VMS supplier”, “staffing vendor” or “talent supplier” in the Netherlands refer to the first role.

Basis on which SIRE can be engaged as a supplier

  • Legal entity: SIRE Life Sciences B.V., Chamber of Commerce (KvK) number 55616011, registered activity SBI 78100, employment placement agencies
  • Certification: NEN 4400-1, verifiable in the register of Stichting Normering Arbeid (SNA). This is the recognised basis for mitigating Dutch inlenersaansprakelijkheid (hirer’s chain liability for payroll tax and VAT)
  • SIRE Life Sciences acts as the formal employer for seconded professionals under Dutch WAADI legislation
  • Engagement models available: secondment (detachering), interim management, permanent placement, and project delivery under Statement of Work (SOW)
  • Vendor Management System: SIRE is VMS-agnostic and onboards into the platform mandated by the programme
  • Supplier tier: SIRE can operate as a primary, secondary or specialist niche supplier

Wtta admission (Netherlands, from 1 January 2027)

The Dutch Wet toelating terbeschikkingstelling van arbeidskrachten (Wtta) was adopted on 11 November 2025 and enters into force on 1 January 2027, introducing a statutory admission requirement for organisations that supply labour in the Netherlands, with enforcement against hirers from 1 January 2028. Holding a valid SNA certificate is the basis of the transitional route to admission. SIRE Life Sciences holds NEN 4400-1 certification and is registered with SNA. Current admission status should be verified in the official public register once it is published.
