Neuven Solutions

What Neuven Solutions does

Neuven Solutions is a Manchester-based, privately-held neutral vendor providing technology-enabled managed services for temporary workforce supply chains. Founded in 2013 (originally as Venloc, rebranded to Neuven Solutions in November 2020) and operating under the group structure Neuven Solutions Holdings Limited, with Neuven Solutions Limited as the primary operating entity and Neuven Consult Limited as a wholly-owned audit and compliance subsidiary, the company serves enterprise and public sector clients across at least eight UK verticals including logistics, health and social care, manufacturing, facilities management, retail, education, not-for-profit, and local authorities.

The company operates a proprietary technology stack comprising four core platforms: Venneu (workforce management and compliance platform that consolidates agency relationships, booking, AWR tracking, and consolidated weekly invoicing); Venta (mobile, QR-code-based time and attendance software); Vencheck (continuous credentialing platform for health and social care, delivered in partnership with Credentially); and Venloc (locum management system for pharmacy and care sectors). These platforms share a common data architecture, are hosted on Rackspace cloud infrastructure, and are accessed by a curated panel of approximately 3,500 recruitment agency partners. The company has processed £1bn in cumulative managed spend, 58m managed hours, and claims a 99.6% compliance rate, with documented client savings of up to 20% on temporary staffing expenditure (and up to 75% in specific case studies).

Revenue is generated through three streams: a transaction fee calculated as a percentage of client savings under the neutral vendor managed service; technology platform licensing typically bundled within managed service contracts; and professional services (compliance audits, bid management, framework support, training) delivered via Neuven Consult, which completes 2,500+ audits annually at a 97% bid success rate. Go-to-market is sales-led, with enterprise field sales targeting procurement, HR, and operations leaders, supplemented by a website-driven demo request channel and listing on UK public sector procurement frameworks (G-Cloud 14, ESPO MSTAR4, CCS, RM6277, RM6285, TWS111, Valuematch). Leadership comprises Martin Shaw as CEO, Damien Briscoe as Managing Director (appointed 2025), Jeremy Batt as CTO, Jill Harrison as HR Director, and John Simmonds as Chairman.

Revenue model

1. Neutral Vendor Managed Services (Transaction Fee): Neuven builds a small transparent transaction fee into client arrangements. This fee is calculated as a percentage of savings generated for the client. The neutral vendor model is designed to never cost clients money through implementation or day-to-day operations. The company's commercial incentive is directly aligned with delivering measurable cost savings (up to 20%).
2. Technology Platform Licensing (Venneu, Venta, Vencheck): Access to proprietary workforce management and compliance software platforms, typically bundled with neutral vendor managed services. Revenue is derived from platform usage within the managed service contract, with pricing aligned to client scale and scope.
3. Neuven Consult (Audit, Compliance, Bid Management, Training): Sister company Neuven Consult generates revenue through professional services including compliance audits, bid management, framework/tender support, and training. Carries out over 2,500 audits per year with a 97% bid success rate. Services available independently or alongside the neutral vendor managed service.
